Remove unused &lt;linux/quicklist.h&gt; from &lt;asm-generic/tlb.h&gt;; per
Christoph Lameter this should have been part of a previous patch
reversal but apparently didn't get removed.

Convert macros into inline functions, for better type-checking.

This patch required a little bit of fiddling with headers in order to
make __(pte|pmd)_free_tlb inline rather than macros.
asm-generic/tlb.h includes asm/pgalloc.h, though it doesn't directly
use any pgalloc definitions.  I removed this include to avoid an
include cycle, but it may cause secondary compile failures by things
depending on the indirect inclusion; arch/x86/mm/hugetlbpage.c was one
such place; there may be others.

Did not fix the reported issue. Apart from other weirdness this causes a
bad link between the TLB flushing logic and the quicklists. If there is
indeed an issue that an arch needs a tlb flush before free then the arch
code needs to set tlb-&gt;need_flush before calling quicklist_free.

This ensures that the quicklists are drained. Otherwise draining may only
occur when the processor reaches an idle state.

Fixes fatal leakage of pgd_t's on 2.6.22 and later.

<title>[PATCH] mm: tlb_finish_mmu forget rss</title>

zap_pte_range has been counting the pages it frees in tlb-&gt;freed, then
tlb_finish_mmu has used that to update the mm's rss.  That got stranger when I
added anon_rss, yet updated it by a different route; and stranger when rss and
anon_rss became mm_counters with special access macros.  And it would no
longer be viable if we're relying on page_table_lock to stabilize the
mm_counter, but calling tlb_finish_mmu outside that lock.

Remove the mmu_gather's freed field, let tlb_finish_mmu stick to its own
business, just decrement the rss mm_counter in zap_pte_range (yes, there was
some point to batching the update, and a subsequent patch restores that).  And
forget the anal paranoia of first reading the counter to avoid going negative
- if rss does go negative, just fix that bug.

Remove the mmu_gather's flushes and avoided_flushes from arm and arm26: no use
was being made of them.  But arm26 alone was actually using the freed, in the
way some others use need_flush: give it a need_flush.  arm26 seems to prefer
spaces to tabs here: respect that.

tlb_is_full_mm?  What does that mean?  The TLB is full?  No, it means that the
mm's last user has gone and the whole mm is being torn down.  And it's an
inline function because sparc64 uses a different (slightly better)
"tlb_frozen" name for the flag others call "fullmm".

And now the ptep_get_and_clear_full macro used in zap_pte_range refers
directly to tlb-&gt;fullmm, which would be wrong for sparc64.  Rather than
correct that, I'd prefer to scrap tlb_is_full_mm altogether, and change
sparc64 to just use the same poor name as everyone else - is that okay?

tlb_gather_mmu dates from before kernel preemption was allowed, and uses
smp_processor_id or __get_cpu_var to find its per-cpu mmu_gather.  That works
because it's currently only called after getting page_table_lock, which is not
dropped until after the matching tlb_finish_mmu.  But don't rely on that, it
will soon change: now disable preemption internally by proper get_cpu_var in
tlb_gather_mmu, put_cpu_var in tlb_finish_mmu.
