Subject: [RFC][PATCH] powerpc/mm: convert tlbie to tlbiel when no batch is active

From: Balbir Singh <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2017 15:16:55 +1000

Do the checks that __flush_tlb_pending() does and check if
a local flush will do when batch->active is false inside of
hpte_need_flush(). I've checked the changes with tlbie tracing,
I see local flushes as applicable now and I've also run
some basic ltp testcases on top of these changes on a powernv
machine.
