Subject: [PATCH] arm64/mm: Optimize TLB flush in unmap_hotplug_[pmd|pud]_range()
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 02:28:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626012845.475959-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com> (raw)

flush_tlb_kernel_range() could flush down an entire block mapping just with
a single PAGE_SIZE stride. This capability was being used umapping PMD and
PUD based block mappings in unmap_hotplug_[pmd|pud]_range().

But later on the commit 48478b9f7913
("arm64/mm: Enable batched TLB flush in unmap_hotplug_range()") replaced
this PAGE_SIZE stride with [PMD|PUD]_SIZE strides, hence forcing multiple
PAGE_SIZE stride based TLB flushes on platforms where TLB range operation
is not supported. Revert back to the earlier TLB behaviour along with the
required comments that were dropped earlier.
