When processing mmu_notifier invalidations for gpc caches, pre-check for overlap with the invalidation event while holding gpc->lock for read, and only take gpc->lock for write if the cache needs to be invalidated. Doing a pre-check without taking gpc->lock for write avoids unnecessarily contending the lock for unrelated invalidations, which is very beneficial for caches that are heavily used (but rarely subjected to mmu_notifier invalidations).

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.
