Looking up one frame at __purge_vmap_area_lazy(), there is: ... list_for_each_entry_rcu(va, &vmap_area_list, list) { if (va->flags & VM_LAZY_FREE) { if (va->va_start < *start) *start = va->va_start; if (va->va_end > *end) *end = va->va_end; nr += (va->va_end - va->va_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT; list_add_tail(&va->purge_list, &valist); va->flags |= VM_LAZY_FREEING; va->flags &= ~VM_LAZY_FREE; } } ... if (nr || force_flush) flush_tlb_kernel_range(*start, *end); So if two areas are being freed, the range passed to flush_tlb_kernel_range() may be as large as the vmalloc space. For arm64, this is ~240GB for 4k pagesize and ~2TB for 64kpage size. This patch works around this problem by adding a loop limit. If the range is larger than the limit, use flush_tlb_all() rather than flushing based on individual pages. The limit chosen is arbitrary as the TLB size is implementation specific and not accessible in an architected way. The aim of the arbitrary limit is to avoid soft lockup.
