From 421d99193537a6522aac2148286f08792167d5fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2007 16:20:27 -0800 Subject: quicklist: Set tlb->need_flush if pages are remaining in quicklist 0 This ensures that the quicklists are drained. Otherwise draining may only occur when the processor reaches an idle state. Fixes fatal leakage of pgd_t's on 2.6.22 and later.
