KVM: arm64: Don't defer TLB invalidation when zapping table entries
Commit 7657ea9 ("KVM: arm64: Use TLBI range-based instructions for
unmap") introduced deferred TLB invalidation for the stage-2 page-table
so that range-based invalidation can be used for the accumulated
addresses. This works fine if the structure of the page-tables remains
unchanged, but if entire tables are zapped and subsequently freed then
we transiently leave the hardware page-table walker with a reference
to freed memory thanks to the translation walk caches. For example,
stage2_unmap_walker() will free page-table pages:
if (childp)
mm_ops->put_page(childp);
and issue the TLB invalidation later in kvm_pgtable_stage2_unmap():
if (stage2_unmap_defer_tlb_flush(pgt))
/* Perform the deferred TLB invalidations */
kvm_tlb_flush_vmid_range(pgt->mmu, addr, size);
For now, take the conservative approach and invalidate the TLB eagerly
when we clear a table entry. Note, however, that the existing level
hint passed to __kvm_tlb_flush_vmid_ipa() is incorrect and will be
fixed in a subsequent patch.
