Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 2/2] bpf, riscv: Remove redundant bpf_flush_icache() after pack allocator finalize
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 05:32:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413123256.3296452-3-puranjay@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260413123256.3296452-1-puranjay@kernel.org>
bpf_flush_icache() calls flush_icache_range() to clean the data cache
and invalidate the instruction cache for the JITed code region. However,
since commit 48a8f78c50bd ("bpf, riscv: use prog pack allocator in the
BPF JIT"), this flush is redundant.
bpf_jit_binary_pack_finalize() copies the JITed instructions to the ROX
region via bpf_arch_text_copy() -> patch_text_nosync(), and
patch_text_nosync() already calls flush_icache_range() on the written
range. The subsequent bpf_flush_icache() repeats the same cache
maintenance on an overlapping range.
Remove the redundant bpf_flush_icache() call and its now-unused
definition.
Fixes: 48a8f78c50bd ("bpf, riscv: use prog pack allocator in the BPF JIT")
