Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Remove unneeded TLB flush for in-place encryption
Date: Wed, 01 Nov 2017 11:54:26 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171101165426.1388.24866.stgit@tlendack-t1.amdoffice.net> (raw)

A TLB flush is not required when doing in-place encryption or decryption
since the area's pagetable attributes are not being altered.  To avoid
confusion between what the routine is doing and what is documented in
the AMD APM, delete the local_flush_tlb() call.
