Subject: [PATCH RFC] cache: Make cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() error out if there are no handlers
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 09:29:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922-cci_enxio-v1-1-00bade212729@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922-cci_enxio-v1-0-00bade212729@arm.com>

Currently, if there are no registered handlers,
cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() returns 0. Callers are expected to check
cpu_cache_has_invalidate_memregion() and return -ENXIO themselves, instead
of calling this function. If a caller forgets to do this, they may
erroneously think the operation succeeded. This is in contrast to x86,
where cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() itself checks if the operation is
supported, and returns -ENXIO if it is not.
