[PATCH] arm64: mm: Ensure writes to swapper are ordered wrt subsequent cache maintenance

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

 



When rewriting swapper using nG mappings, we must performance cache
maintenance around each page table access in order to avoid coherency
problems with the host's cacheable alias under KVM. To ensure correct
ordering of the maintenance with respect to Device memory accesses made
with the Stage-1 MMU disabled, DMBs need to be added between the
maintenance and the corresponding memory access.

This patch adds a missing DMB between writing a new page table entry and
performing a clean+invalidate on the same line.
