ptep_flush_lazy and pmdp_flush_lazy use mm->context.attach_count to
decide between a lazy TLB flush vs an immediate TLB flush. The field
contains two 16-bit counters, the number of CPUs that have the mm
attached and can create TLB entries for it and the number of CPUs in
the middle of a page table update.
The __tlb_flush_asce, ptep_flush_direct and pmdp_flush_direct functions
use the attach counter and a mask check with mm_cpumask(mm) to decide
between a local flush local of the current CPU and a global flush.
For all these functions the decision between lazy vs immediate and
local vs global TLB flush can be based on CPU masks. There are two
masks: the mm->context.cpu_attach_mask with the CPUs that are actively
using the mm, and the mm_cpumask(mm) with the CPUs that have used the
mm since the last full flush. The decision between lazy vs immediate
flush is based on the mm->context.cpu_attach_mask, to decide between
local vs global flush the mm_cpumask(mm) is used.
With this patch all checks will use the CPU masks, the old counter
mm->context.attach_count with its two 16-bit values is turned into a
single counter mm->context.flush_count that keeps track of the number
of CPUs with incomplete page table updates. The sole user of this
counter is finish_arch_post_lock_switch() which waits for the end of
all page table updates.
