Subject: [PATCH for-next] xen/arm: mm: flush_page_to_ram() only need to clean to PoC
Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2021 17:54:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210220175413.14640-1-julien@xen.org> (raw)

From: Julien Grall <jgrall@amazon.com>

At the moment, flush_page_to_ram() is both cleaning and invalidate to
PoC the page. However, the cache line can be speculated and pull in the
cache right after as it is part of the direct map.

So it is pointless to try to invalidate the line in the data cache.
