/*
- * In principle we need to do a cr3 reload here to make sure
- * the processor recognizes the changed pgd. In practice, all
- * the places where pud_clear() gets called are followed by
- * full tlb flushes anyway, so we can defer the cost here.
+ * Pentium-II erratum A13: in PAE mode we explicitly have to flush
+ * the TLB via cr3 if the top-level pgd is changed...
*
- * Specifically:
- *
- * mm/memory.c:free_pmd_range() - immediately after the
- * pud_clear() it does a pmd_free_tlb(). We change the
- * mmu_gather structure to do a full tlb flush (which has the
- * effect of reloading cr3) when the pagetable free is
- * complete.
- *
- * arch/x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c:huge_pmd_unshare() - the call to
- * this is followed by a flush_tlb_range, which on x86 does a
- * full tlb flush.
+ * XXX I don't think we need to worry about this here, since
+ * when clearing the pud, the calling code needs to flush the
+ * tlb anyway. But do it now for safety's sake. - jsgf
