3.2.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Dave Kleikamp <[email protected]> commit 23a01138efe216f8084cfaa74b0b90dd4b097441 upstream. This fixes a race where a cpu may re-load a tlb from a stale tsb right after it has been flushed by a remote function call. I still see some instability when stressing the system with parallel kernel builds while creating memory pressure by writing to /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages, but this patch improves the stability significantly.
