Subject: [PATCH v3 13/13] arm64: mm: Provide level hint for flush_tlb_page()
Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2026 13:56:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260302135602.3716920-14-ryan.roberts@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260302135602.3716920-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com>
Previously tlb invalidations issued by __flush_tlb_page() did not
contain a level hint. But the function is clearly only ever targeting
level 3 tlb entries and its documentation agrees:
| this operation only invalidates a single, last-level page-table
| entry and therefore does not affect any walk-caches
However, it turns out that the function was actually being used to
invalidate a level 2 mapping via flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault_pmd(). The
bug was benign because the level hint was not set so the HW would still
invalidate the PMD mapping, and also because the TLBF_NONOTIFY flag was
set, the bounds of the mapping were never used for anything else.
Now that we have the new and improved range-invalidation API, it is
trival to fix flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault_pmd() to explicitly flush the
whole range (locally, without notification and last level only). So
let's do that, and then update __flush_tlb_page() to hint level 3.
