From 0f1a394ba68c4bbdedb1dbfdf6784ba54c07bbe4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mundt Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2007 13:05:18 +0900 Subject: sh: lockless UTLB miss fast-path. With the refactored update_mmu_cache() introduced in older kernels, there's no longer any need to take the page_table_lock in this path, so simply drop it completely. Without this, performance degradation is seen on SMP on heavily threaded workloads that don't use the split ptlock, and ultimately we have no reason to contend for the lock in the first place.
