Subject: [PATCH] riscv: kvm: Skip preventive hfence.gvma for new G-stage mappings with Svvptc
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 03:52:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701075239.95542-1-fredwudi0305@gmail.com> (raw)
For Invalid->Valid G-stage leaf PTE updates, the flush in
kvm_riscv_gstage_set_pte() is preventive. When Svvptc is available, new
valid PTEs become visible to the page-table walker within a bounded
time, so an immediate hfence.gvma is unnecessary.
Skip gstage_tlb_flush() for that case. Permission-restricting updates
continue to use the existing flush path.
