OK. So the flag will also be used for CPUs which are stuck-in-the-kernel
with MMU turned on. e.g, a CPU (using spin-table) we try to bring down
in kill_cpu_early(). Correct ?
Yes.
We'd also pad it such that nothing else shares the same writeback
granule, and when writing to it with the MMU off we can invalidate the
stale cached copy.
I have started working on this approach. But the changes are a bit more invasive
and looks more like suited for 4.5. We could push this series(which doesn't change
the current behavior as it is in 4.4-rc3, except for the code movement) to fix
the ASID sanity check and introduce the synchronisation part in 4.5.
What do you think ?
Cheers
Suzuki
