commitb67fbebd4cupstream. Some drivers rely on having all VMAs through which a PFN might be accessible listed in the rmap for correctness. However, on X86, it was possible for a VMA with stale TLB entries to not be listed in the rmap. This was fixed in mainline with commitb67fbebd4c("mmu_gather: Force tlb-flush VM_PFNMAP vmas"), but that commit relies on preceding refactoring in commit18ba064e42("mmu_gather: Let there be one tlb_{start,end}_vma() implementation") and commit1e9fdf21a4("mmu_gather: Remove per arch tlb_{start,end}_vma()"). This patch provides equivalent protection without needing that refactoring, by forcing a TLB flush between removing PTEs in unmap_vmas() and the call to unlink_file_vma() in free_pgtables().

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.
