[RFC 03/12] powerpc/pseries: Rework hash flush to remove conditional locking

From: "Ritesh Harjani (IBM)" <ritesh.list@gmail.com>
Date: 2026-09-27 14:35:05
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

Clang's compiler based static context analysis does not work with locks
that are conditionally taken like in pSeries_lpar_flush_hash_range().

This also simplifies the function definition in my opinion - so this
is also a win.

No functional change intended.
