[PATCH v3 4/5] mmu_notifiers: Don't invalidate secondary TLBs as part of mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()

From: Alistair Popple
Date: Thu Jul 20 2023 - 05:00:54 EST


Secondary TLBs are now invalidated from the architecture specific TLB
invalidation functions. Therefore there is no need to explicitly
notify or invalidate as part of the range end functions. This means we
can remove mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end_only() and some of the
ptep_*_notify() functions.
