Subject: [PATCH v5 1/7] KVM: arm64: Skip cache maintenance for non-cacheable pKVM mappings
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 14:03:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717130317.1953574-2-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717130317.1953574-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev>

From: Bradley Morgan <include@grrlz.net>

The pKVM flush path walks its own pkvm_mappings list and cleans the
data cache for every mapping, unlike the generic stage-2 walker it
shadows, which skips non-cacheable leaves. Cleaning the cacheable
alias of a non-cacheable mapping is pointless and can corrupt a
device endpoint. Record whether a mapping is non-cacheable in spare
bits of nr_pages and skip cache maintenance for it.
