[PATCH] uml: tlb flushing fix
This patch fixes a fairly serious tlb flushing bug that makes aio use under
uml very unreliable -- SEGVs, Oops and panic()s occur as a result of stale
tlb entires being used by uml when aio switches mms due to the fact that
uml does not implement the activate_mm() hook. This patch introduces a
simple but correct approach (read: hammer) for implementing activate_mm()
in uml by doing a force_flush_all() if the new mm is different from old.
With this patch in place, uml is able to succeed at the aio test case that
was randomly faulting for me before.
