The entire scheme of deferred TLB flush in reclaim path rests on the
fact that the cost to refill TLB entries is less than flushing out
individual entries by sending IPI to remote CPUs. But architecture
can have different ways to evaluate that. Hence apart from checking
TTU_BATCH_FLUSH in the TTU flags, rest of the decision should be
architecture specific.

I think this conversion could have been done better.

should_defer_flush() is compiled if
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH.  So the patch implicitly
assumes that only x86 implements
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH.  Presently true, but what
happens if sparc (for example) wants to set
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH?  Now sparc needs its private
version of arch_tlbbatch_should_defer(), even if that is identical to
x86's.

Wouldn't it be better to make arch_tlbbatch_should_defer() a __weak
function in rmap.c, or a static inline inside #ifndef
ARCH_HAS_ARCH_TLBBATCH_SHOULD_DEFER, or whatever technique best fits?

The current logic is if architecture want to enable batched TLB flush, they
need to implement their own version of arch_tlbbatch_should_defer() (for the
hint to defer the TLB flush) and arch_tlbbatch_add_mm() (for pending TLB flush)
and select ARCH_WANT_BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH. That's what we do in Patch 2/2 for
enabling this on arm64.

Since it is architecture specific, we must rely on the architecture to implement
these two functions. Only select the ARCH_HAS_ARCH_TLBBATCH_SHOULD_DEFER is not
enough.

When ARCH_HAS_ARCH_TLBBATCH_SHOULD_DEFER is not selected, should_defer_flush()
is implemented to only return false. I think this match what you want already.

Thanks.

Right, platform needs to provide both the helpers arch_tlbbatch_should_defer() and
arch_tlbbatch_add_mm() before ARCH_WANT_BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH can be selected.
Otherwise there is a fallback should_defer_flush() definition which always return
negative when ARCH_WANT_BATCHED_UNMAP_TLB_FLUSH is not selected.
