I find out it is no need modification for this function.
I overlooked the parameter 'flush_non_present_entry', which is '0' to call iommu_flush_iotlb_global().
At the bottom of the call tree,
(Existing code)
>>
In flush->iotlb():
{
....
if ( flush_non_present_entry )
{
if ( !cap_caching_mode(iommu->cap) )
return 1;
else
did = 0;
}
....
}
<<
it is impossible to return '1', which is used to indicate caller needs to flush cache.
