Hi!

flush_tlb_all uses on_each_cpu, which will disable/enable interrupt.
In suspend/resume time, this will make interrupt wrongly enabled.

Either it is okay to enable interrupts here -> unneccessary and ugly
test, or it is not, and then we are broken in SMP case.
It's not broken in SMP case, APs are offlined here in suspend/resume.


In which case, how's about this?

Certainly better, I'd say.

Sorry for the delay. Last week is holiday here.

But this still scares. It means calling convention is "may enable
interrupts with >1 cpu, may not with == 1 cpu".
Then we need port x86_64's implementation. I'll try if I can work it
out.

Thanks,
