With commit9fee28baa6("powerpc: implement the new page table range API") we added set_ptes to powerpc architecture. The implementation included calling arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() calls. The patch removes the usage of arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() because set_pte is not supposed to be used when updating a pte entry. Powerpc architecture uses this rule to skip the expensive tlb invalidate which is not needed when you are setting up the pte for the first time. See commit56eecdb912("mm: Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating _PAGE_NUMA bit") for more details The patch also makes sure we are not using the interface to update a valid/present pte entry by adding VM_WARN_ON check all the ptes we are setting up. Furthermore, we add a comment to set_pte_filter to clarify it can only update folio-related flags and cannot filter pfn specific details in pte filtering. Removal of arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() also will avoid nesting of these functions that are not supported. For ex: remap_pte_range() -> arch_enter_lazy_mmu() -> set_ptes() -> arch_enter_lazy_mmu() -> arch_leave_lazy_mmu() -> arch_leave_lazy_mmu() Fixes:9fee28baa6("powerpc: implement the new page table range API") Signed-off-by: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://msgid.link/20231024143604.16749-1-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
