Subject: [RFC V1 10/16] arm64/mm: Route all pgtable writes via ptdesc_set()
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 10:41:47 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224051153.3150613-11-anshuman.khandual@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260224051153.3150613-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com>
Currently ptdesc_set() is defined as WRITE_ONCE() but this will change for
D128 pgtable builds, for which WRITE_ONCE() is not sufficient for single
copy atomicity.
In future this infrastructure can be used for D128 to maintain single copy
atomicity semantics with inline asm blocks.
