      mm: do not initialize TLB stack vma's with vma_init() · 8b11ec1b
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Commit 2c4541e2 ("mm: use vma_init() to initialize VMAs on stack and
data segments") tried to initialize various left-over ad-hoc vma's
"properly", but actually made things worse for the temporary vma's used
for TLB flushing.

vma_init() doesn't actually initialize all of the vma, just a few
fields, so doing something like

   -       struct vm_area_struct vma = { .vm_mm = tlb->mm, };
   +       struct vm_area_struct vma;
   +
   +       vma_init(&vma, tlb->mm);

was actually very bad: instead of having a nicely initialized vma with
every field but "vm_mm" zeroed, you'd have an entirely uninitialized vma
with only a couple of fields initialized.  And they weren't even fields
that the code in question mostly cared about.

The flush_tlb_range() function takes a "struct vma" rather than a
"struct mm_struct", because a few architectures actually care about what
kind of range it is - being able to only do an ITLB flush if it's a
range that doesn't have data accesses enabled, for example.  And all the
normal users already have the vma for doing the range invalidation.

But a few people want to call flush_tlb_range() with a range they just
made up, so they also end up using a made-up vma.  x86 just has a
special "flush_tlb_mm_range()" function for this, but other
architectures (arm and ia64) do the "use fake vma" thing instead, and
thus got caught up in the vma_init() changes.

At the same time, the TLB flushing code really doesn't care about most
other fields in the vma, so vma_init() is just unnecessary and
pointless.

This fixes things by having an explicit "this is just an initializer for
the TLB flush" initializer macro, which is used by the arm/arm64/ia64
people who mis-use this interface with just a dummy vma.
