mm: add a call to flush_cache_vmap() in vmap_pfn()
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.193 commit f3c5697aae6250e7825ae485c5bb0575a4d340a1 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I9399M Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=f3c5697aae6250e7825ae485c5bb0575a4d340a1 -------------------------------- commit a50420c7 upstream. flush_cache_vmap() must be called after new vmalloc mappings are installed in the page table in order to allow architectures to make sure the new mapping is visible. It could lead to a panic since on some architectures (like powerpc), the page table walker could see the wrong pte value and trigger a spurious page fault that can not be resolved (see commit f1cb8f9b ("powerpc/64s/radix: avoid ptesync after set_pte and ptep_set_access_flags")). But actually the patch is aiming at riscv: the riscv specification allows the caching of invalid entries in the TLB, and since we recently removed the vmalloc page fault handling, we now need to emit a tlb shootdown whenever a new vmalloc mapping is emitted (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20230725132246.817726-1-alexghiti@rivosinc.com/). That's a temporary solution, there are ways to avoid that :) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230809164633.1556126-1-alexghiti@rivosinc.com Fixes: 3e9a9e25 ("mm: add a vmap_pfn function") Reported-by:Dylan Jhong <dylan@andestech.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/ZMytNY2J8iyjbPPy@atctrx.andestech.com/ Signed-off-by:
