Andy discovered that speculative memory accesses while in lazy TLB mode can crash a system, when a CPU tries to dereference a speculative access using memory contents that used to be valid page table memory, but have since been reused for something else and point into la-la land. The latter problem can be prevented in two ways. The first is to always send a TLB shootdown IPI to CPUs in lazy TLB mode, while the second one is to only send the TLB shootdown at page table freeing time. The second should result in fewer IPIs, since operationgs like mprotect and madvise are very common with some workloads, but do not involve page table freeing. Also, on munmap, batching of page table freeing covers much larger ranges of virtual memory than the batching of unmapped user pages.
