Dennis Zhou 93274f1dd6 percpu: flush tlb in pcpu_reclaim_populated()
Prior to "percpu: implement partial chunk depopulation",
pcpu_depopulate_chunk() was called only on the destruction path. This
meant the virtual address range was on its way back to vmalloc which
will handle flushing the tlbs for us.

However, with pcpu_reclaim_populated(), we are now calling
pcpu_depopulate_chunk() during the active lifecycle of a chunk.
Therefore, we need to flush the tlb as well otherwise we can end up
accessing the wrong page through an invalid tlb mapping as reported in
[1].

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
