[RFC v2 1/6] mm/rmap: Recognize non-writable TLB entries during TLB batch flush

From: Byungchul Park
Date: Thu Aug 17 2023 - 04:10:07 EST


Functionally, no change. This is a preparation for CONFIG_MIGRC that
requires to recognize non-writable TLB entries and makes use of them to
batch more aggressively or even skip TLB flushes.

While at it, changed struct tlbflush_unmap's ->flush_required(boolean)
to ->nr_flush_required(int) in order to take into account not only
whether it has been requested or not, but also the exact number of the
requests. That will be used in CONFIG_MIGRC implementation.
