mm,thp: introduce flush_pmd_tlb_range ARCHes with special requirements for evicting THP backing TLB entries can implement this. Otherwise also, it can help optimize TLB flush in THP regime. stock flush_tlb_range() typically has optimization to nuke the entire TLB if flush span is greater than a certain threshhold, which will likely be true for a single huge page. Thus a single thp flush will invalidate the entrire TLB which is not desirable. e.g. see arch/arc: flush_pmd_tlb_range Acked-by: Kirill A.
