[PATCH v3 3/5] KVM: arm64: pkvm: Document the side effects of kvm_flush_dcache_to_poc()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
