Subject: [PATCH v2 26/29] x86/cacheinfo: Extract out cache self-snoop checks
Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2025 17:47:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250317164745.4754-27-darwi@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250317164745.4754-1-darwi@linutronix.de>
The logic of not doing a cache flush if the CPU declares cache self
snooping support is repeated across the x86/cacheinfo code. Extract it
into its own function.
