Subject: [PATCH 0/3 v4] mmu_notifier: Allow to manage CPU external TLBs

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

Changes V3->V4:

* Rebased to v3.18-rc2
* Updated patch description and some comments

Changes V2->V3:

* Rebased to v3.17-rc4
* Fixed compile error because pmdp_get_and_clear_notify was
  missing

Changes V1->V2:

* Rebase to v3.16-rc7
* Added call of ->invalidate_range to
  __mmu_notifier_invalidate_end() so that the subsystem
  doesn't need to register an ->invalidate_end() call-back,
  subsystems will likely either register
  invalidate_range_start/end or invalidate_range, so that
  should be fine.
* Re-orded declarations a bit to reflect that
  invalidate_range is not only called between
  invalidate_range_start/end
* Updated documentation to cover the case where
  invalidate_range is called outside of
  invalidate_range_start/end to flush page-table pages out
  of the TLB

Hi,

here is v4 of my patch-set which extends the mmu-notifiers
to allow managing CPU external TLBs. A more in-depth
description on the How and Why of this patch-set can be
found in the description of patch 1/3.

Any comments and review appreciated!

Thanks,

	Joerg

Joerg Roedel (3):
  mmu_notifier: Add mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()
  mmu_notifier: Call mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() from VMM
  mmu_notifier: Add the call-back for mmu_notifier_invalidate_range()
