If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Anthony Iliopoulos commit 9844f5462392b53824e8b86726e7c33b5ecbb676 upstream. The invalidation is required in order to maintain proper semantics under CoW conditions. In scenarios where a process clones several threads, a thread operating on a core whose DTLB entry for a particular hugepage has not been invalidated, will be reading from the hugepage that belongs to the forked child process, even after hugetlb_cow(). The thread will not see the updated page as long as the stale DTLB entry remains cached, the thread attempts to write into the page, the child process exits, or the thread gets migrated to a different processor.
