At the moment, the pgtable code rely on BBM in SW which looks like: Break: stage2_try_break_pte() 1) Break PTE and lock it 2) TLBI 3) Put the ref on the old PTE Make: stage2_make_pte() 1) Get a ref on the new PTE 2) Install the new PTE With BBML3, the sequence will look as 1) Get ref on the new PTE 2) Install new PTE 3) TLBI 4) Put the ref on the old PTE Move step #2 and #3 from stage2_try_break_pte() to a new helper stage2_clean_old_pte() so it can be re-used by BBML3. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Mostafa Saleh <smostafa@google.com> --- arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/pgtable.c | 67 ++++++++++++++++++++---------------- 1 file changed, 37 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-)
