Subject: [PATCH 5.10 206/663] mm: proc: Invalidate TLB after clearing soft-dirty page state

From: Will Deacon <will@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 912efa17e5121693dfbadae29768f4144a3f9e62 ]

Since commit 0758cd830494 ("asm-generic/tlb: avoid potential double
flush"), TLB invalidation is elided in tlb_finish_mmu() if no entries
were batched via the tlb_remove_*() functions. Consequently, the
page-table modifications performed by clear_refs_write() in response to
a write to /proc/<pid>/clear_refs do not perform TLB invalidation.
Although this is fine when simply aging the ptes, in the case of
clearing the "soft-dirty" state we can end up with entries where
pte_write() is false, yet a writable mapping remains in the TLB.

Fix this by avoiding the mmu_gather API altogether: managing both the
'tlb_flush_pending' flag on the 'mm_struct' and explicit TLB
invalidation for the sort-dirty path, much like mprotect() does already.

Fixes: 0758cd830494 ("asm-generic/tlb: avoid potential double flush”)
