["Borah, Chaitanya Kumar" <chaitanya.kumar.borah@intel.com>]

Hello Alistair,

Hope you are doing well. I am Chaitanya from the linux graphics team in Intel.
 
This mail is regarding a regression we are seeing in our CI runs[1] on linux-next
repository.

Details log can be found in [3].

After bisecting the tree, the following patch seems to be causing the
regression.

commit 828fe4085cae77acb3abf7dd3d25b3ed6c560edf

    mmu_notifiers: rename invalidate_range notifier

    There are two main use cases for mmu notifiers.  One is by KVM which uses
    mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()/end() to manage a software TLB.

    The other is to manage hardware TLBs which need to use the
    invalidate_range() callback because HW can establish new TLB entries at
    any time.  Hence using start/end() can lead to memory corruption as these
    callbacks happen too soon/late during page unmap.

    mmu notifier users should therefore either use the start()/end() callbacks
    or the invalidate_range() callbacks.  To make this usage clearer rename
    the invalidate_range() callback to arch_invalidate_secondary_tlbs() and
    update documention.

We also verified by reverting the patch in the tree.

Could you please check why this patch causes the regression and if we can find
a solution for it soon?
