From 34c604d27590fdc9a2c944be8c50ae1fc80f5f25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Piggin Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2018 19:54:28 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/64s: free page table caches at exit_mmap time The kernel page table caches are tied to init_mm, so there is no more need for them after userspace is finished. destroy_context() gets called when we drop the last reference for an mm, which can be much later than the task exit due to other lazy mm references to it. We can free the page table cache pages on task exit because they only cache the userspace page tables and kernel threads should not access user space addresses. The mapping for kernel threads itself is maintained in init_mm and page table cache for that is attached to init_mm.
