vmap blocks which have active mappings cannot be purged. Allocations which have been freed are accounted for in vmap_block::dirty_min/max, so that they can be detected in _vm_unmap_aliases() as potentially stale TLBs. If there are several invocations of _vm_unmap_aliases() then each of them will flush the dirty range. That's pointless and just increases the probability of full TLB flushes. Avoid that by resetting the flush range after accounting for it. That's safe versus other invocations of _vm_unmap_aliases() because this is all serialized with vmap_purge_lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
