Our use of broadcast TLB maintenance means that spurious page-faults that have been handled already by another CPU do not require additional TLB maintenance. Make flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() a no-op and rely on the existing TLB invalidation instead. Add an explicit flush_tlb_page() when making a page dirty, as the TLB is permitted to cache the old read-only entry.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
