Subject: [PATCH v5 4/7] KVM: arm64: Skip pKVM stage-2 flush when FWB is enabled
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 14:03:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717130317.1953574-5-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717130317.1953574-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev>

pkvm_pgtable_stage2_flush() cleans the D-cache for every mapping in the
range even on hardware with stage-2 Force Write-Back, where FWB keeps
guest memory coherent to the PoC and the maintenance is unnecessary. The
generic kvm_pgtable_stage2_flush() returns early in that case, but the
pKVM MMU does not, so it needlessly cleans the whole range on, e.g.,
every set/way trap.

Return early when FWB is enabled, matching the generic walker.

Fixes: e912efed485a ("KVM: arm64: Introduce the EL1 pKVM MMU")
