+# This option allows MMU_LAZY_TLB_REFCOUNT=n. It ensures no CPUs are using an
+# mm as a lazy tlb beyond its last reference count, by shooting down these
+# users before the mm is deallocated. __mmdrop() first IPIs all CPUs that may
+# be using the mm as a lazy tlb, so that they may switch themselves to using
+# init_mm for their active mm. mm_cpumask(mm) is used to determine which CPUs
+# may be using mm as a lazy tlb mm.
+#
+# To implement this, an arch *must*:
+# - At the time of the final mmdrop of the mm, ensure mm_cpumask(mm) contains
+#   at least all possible CPUs in which the mm is lazy.
+# - It must meet the requirements for MMU_LAZY_TLB_REFCOUNT=n (see above).

+	 * IPI overheads have not found to be expensive, but they could be
+	 * reduced in a number of possible ways, for example (roughly
+	 * increasing order of complexity):
+	 * - The last lazy reference created by exit_mm() could instead switch
+	 *   to init_mm, however it's probable this will run on the same CPU
+	 *   immediately afterwards, so this may not reduce IPIs much.
+	 * - A batch of mms requiring IPIs could be gathered and freed at once.
+	 * - CPUs store active_mm where it can be remotely checked without a
+	 *   lock, to filter out false-positives in the cpumask.
+	 * - After mm_users or mm_count reaches zero, switching away from the
+	 *   mm could clear mm_cpumask to reduce some IPIs, perhaps together
+	 *   with some batching or delaying of the final IPIs.
+	 * - A delayed freeing and RCU-like quiescing sequence based on mm
+	 *   switching to avoid IPIs completely.
