Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: arm64: Skip the cache flush when coalescing tables into a block
Date:   Mon, 25 Jan 2021 22:10:44 +0800
Message-ID: <20210125141044.380156-3-wangyanan55@huawei.com>

After dirty-logging is stopped for a VM configured with huge mappings,
KVM will recover the table mappings back to block mappings. As we only
replace the existing page tables with a block entry and the cacheability
has not been changed, the cache maintenance opreations can be skipped.
