[Xen-devel] [PATCH] mm/x86: Flush lazy MMU when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set



When CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set page table updates made by
kernel_map_pages() are not made visible (via TLB flush) immediately if lazy
MMU is on. In environments that support lazy MMU (e.g. Xen) this may lead to
fatal page faults, for example, when zap_pte_range() needs to allocate pages
in __tlb_remove_page() -> tlb_next_batch().
