Subject: [PATCH v8 04/10] arm64/hugetlb: drop the init_mm special case in clear_flush()
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 13:29:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917052933.188679-5-jiangwenxiaomi@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917052933.188679-1-jiangwenxiaomi@gmail.com>
From: Wen Jiang <jiangwen6@xiaomi.com>
clear_flush() calls flush_tlb_kernel_range() when mm is &init_mm. This
was added by commit 06fc959fcff7 ("arm64/mm: Support huge pte-mapped
pages in vmap") because vmap called set_huge_pte_at(&init_mm, ...).
Now that vmap uses pte_set_huge()/pte_clear_huge(), mm/vmalloc.c is no
longer a caller of set_huge_pte_at() on arm64. The only remaining
callers passing &init_mm are in arch/powerpc, which uses its own
implementation. Remove the dead branch.
No functional change.
