Just when I had decided that flush_cache_range() was always called with a valid context, Helge reported two cases where the "BUG_ON(!vma->vm_mm->context);" was hit on the phantom buildd: kernel BUG at /mnt/sdb6/linux/linux-4.15.4/arch/parisc/kernel/cache.c:587! CPU: 1 PID: 3254 Comm: kworker/1:2 Tainted: G D 4.15.0-1-parisc64-smp #1 Debian 4.15.4-1+b1 Workqueue: events free_ioctx IAOQ[0]: flush_cache_range+0x164/0x168 IAOQ[1]: flush_cache_page+0x0/0x1c8 RP(r2): unmap_page_range+0xae8/0xb88 Backtrace: [<00000000404a6980>] unmap_page_range+0xae8/0xb88 [<00000000404a6ae0>] unmap_single_vma+0xc0/0x188 [<00000000404a6cdc>] zap_page_range_single+0x134/0x1f8 [<00000000404a702c>] unmap_mapping_range+0x1cc/0x208 [<0000000040461518>] truncate_pagecache+0x98/0x108 [<0000000040461624>] truncate_setsize+0x9c/0xb8 [<00000000405d7f30>] put_aio_ring_file+0x80/0x100 [<00000000405d803c>] aio_free_ring+0x8c/0x290 [<00000000405d82c0>] free_ioctx+0x80/0x180 [<0000000040284e6c>] process_one_work+0x21c/0x668 [<00000000402854c4>] worker_thread+0x20c/0x778 [<0000000040291d44>] kthread+0x2d4/0x2e0 [<0000000040204020>] end_fault_vector+0x20/0xc0 This indicates that we need to handle the no context case in flush_cache_range() as we do in flush_cache_mm(). In thinking about this, I realized that we don't need to flush the TLB when there is no context. So, I added context checks to the large flush cases in flush_cache_mm() and flush_cache_range(). The large flush case occurs frequently in flush_cache_mm() and the change should improve fork performance. The v2 version of this change removes the BUG_ON from flush_cache_page() by skipping the TLB flush when there is no context. I also added code to flush the TLB in flush_cache_mm() and flush_cache_range() when we have a context that's not current. Now all three routines handle TLB flushes in a similar manner.

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.
