Hi Peter,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
I reviewed the architectures using the MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE:
arm, powerpc, s390, sparc and x86 set the bit when switching process
in.
for arm64 removed set/clear bit in 38d96287504a ("arm64: mm: kill
mm_cpumask usage")
The reason given was that mm_cpumask was not used.
Given that we now have a use for it, I will add a patch to revert.
Thanks
Yair
