Subject: [PATCH 3/8] x86/mm/cpa: Unconditionally avoid WBINDV when we can
Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2018 10:50:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180919085947.933674526@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20180919085016.164552924@infradead.org

CAT has happened, WBINDV is bad (even before CAT blowing away the
entire cache on a multi-core platform wasn't nice), try not to use it
ever.
