powerpc/mm: Avoid calling arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() in set_ptes
With commit 9fee28ba ("powerpc: implement the new page table range API") we added set_ptes to powerpc architecture. The implementation included calling arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() calls. The patch removes the usage of arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() because set_pte is not supposed to be used when updating a pte entry. Powerpc architecture uses this rule to skip the expensive tlb invalidate which is not needed when you are setting up the pte for the first time. See commit 56eecdb9 ("mm: Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating _PAGE_NUMA bit") for more details The patch also makes sure we are not using the interface to update a valid/present pte entry by adding VM_WARN_ON check all the ptes we are setting up. Furthermore, we add a comment to set_pte_filter to clarify it can only update folio-related flags and cannot filter pfn specific details in pte filtering. Removal of arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() also will avoid nesting of these functions that are not supported. For ex: remap_pte_range() -> arch_enter_lazy_mmu() -> set_ptes() -> arch_enter_lazy_mmu() -> arch_leave_lazy_mmu() -> arch_leave_lazy_mmu() Fixes: 9fee28ba ("powerpc: implement the new page table range API") Signed-off-by: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://msgid.link/20231024143604.16749-1-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com
