MADV_DONTNEED[_LOCKED] handling for [process_]madvise() flushes tlb for each vma of each address range. Update the logic to do tlb flushes in a batched way. Initialize an mmu_gather object from do_madvise() and vector_madvise(), which are the entry level functions for [process_]madvise(), respectively. And pass those objects to the function for per-vma work, via madvise_behavior struct. Make the per-vma logic not flushes tlb on their own but just saves the tlb entries to the received mmu_gather object. For this internal logic change, make zap_page_range_single_batched() non-static and use it directly from madvise_dontneed_single_vma(). Finally, the entry level functions flush the tlb entries that gathered for the entire user request, at once.

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 reStructuredText 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.
