Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] KVM: arm64: pkvm: Document the side effects of kvm_flush_dcache_to_poc()
Date: Sat,  8 Apr 2023 17:04:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230408160427.10672-4-maz@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230408160427.10672-1-maz@kernel.org>

We rely on the presence of a DSB at the end of kvm_flush_dcache_to_poc()
that, on top of ensuring completion of the cache clean, also covers
the speculative page table walk started from EL1.

Document this dependency.
