_tlbiel_pid() is called with a ric (Radix Invalidation Control) argument of either RIC_FLUSH_TLB or RIC_FLUSH_ALL. RIC_FLUSH_ALL says to invalidate the entire TLB and the Page Walk Cache (PWC). To flush the whole TLB, we have to iterate over each set (congruence class) of the TLB. Currently we do that and pass RIC_FLUSH_ALL each time. That is not incorrect but it means we flush the PWC 128 times, when once would suffice. Fix it by doing the first flush with the ric value we're passed, and then if it was RIC_FLUSH_ALL, we downgrade it to RIC_FLUSH_TLB, because we know we have just flushed the PWC and don't need to do it again.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
