Subject: [PATCH 5/6] x86,mm: always use lazy TLB mode
Date:   Tue, 26 Jun 2018 13:31:25 -0400
Message-Id: <20180626173126.12296-6-riel@surriel.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180626173126.12296-1-riel@surriel.com>
References: <20180626173126.12296-1-riel@surriel.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Now that CPUs in lazy TLB mode no longer receive TLB shootdown IPIs, except
at page table freeing time, and idle CPUs will no longer get shootdown IPIs
for things like mprotect and madvise, we can always use lazy TLB mode.
