[PATCH v7 2/5] lazy tlb: introduce lazy tlb mm refcount helper functions

Nicholas Piggin npiggin at gmail.com
Fri Feb 3 18:18:34 AEDT 2023


Add explicit _lazy_tlb annotated functions for lazy tlb mm refcounting.
This makes the lazy tlb mm references more obvious, and allows the
refcounting scheme to be modified in later changes. There is no
functional change with this patch.
