3.5.7.9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Heiko Carstens <[email protected]> commit f6a70a07079518280022286a1dceb797d12e1edf upstream. Our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation calls __tlb_flush_mm() with &init_mm as argument. __tlb_flush_mm() however will only flush tlbs for the passed in mm if its mm_cpumask is not empty. For the init_mm however its mm_cpumask has never any bits set. Which in turn means that our flush_tlb_kernel_range() implementation doesn't work at all. This can be easily verified with a vmalloc/vfree loop which allocates a page, writes to it and then frees the page again. A crash will follow almost instantly. To fix this remove the cpumask_empty() check in __tlb_flush_mm() since there shouldn't be too many mms with a zero mm_cpumask, besides the init_mm of course.
