In the kernel we do follow the below sequence in different code paths. pte = ptep_get_clear(ptep) .... set_pte_at(ptep, pte) We do that for mremap, autonuma protection update and softdirty clearing. This implies our optimization to skip a tlb flush when clearing a pte update is not valid, because for DD1 system that followup set_pte_at will be done witout doing the required tlbflush. Fix that by always doing the dd1 style pte update irrespective of new_pte value. In a later patch we will optimize the application exit case.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
