Re: [PATCH 2/4] mm: rmap: Allow platforms without mm_cpumask to defer TLB flush

From: Barry Song <hidden>

Also in: linux-doc, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - core, memory management - rmap (reverse mapping), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Lorenzo Stoakes, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

The cpumask_empty() is indeed just another memory access, which is most
likely ok. But wouldn’t adding something like CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_MM_CPUMASK
make the code simpler and (slightly, certainly slightly) more performant?
Yep. good suggestion, Nadav. So the code will be as below, right?
diff --git a/arch/x86/Kconfig b/arch/x86/Kconfig
