Alexandre Ghiti 9da2ffd368 mm: add a call to flush_cache_vmap() in vmap_pfn()
commit a50420c797 upstream.

flush_cache_vmap() must be called after new vmalloc mappings are installed
in the page table in order to allow architectures to make sure the new
mapping is visible.

It could lead to a panic since on some architectures (like powerpc),
the page table walker could see the wrong pte value and trigger a
spurious page fault that can not be resolved (see commit f1cb8f9beb
("powerpc/64s/radix: avoid ptesync after set_pte and
ptep_set_access_flags")).

But actually the patch is aiming at riscv: the riscv specification
allows the caching of invalid entries in the TLB, and since we recently
removed the vmalloc page fault handling, we now need to emit a tlb
shootdown whenever a new vmalloc mapping is emitted
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20230725132246.817726-1-alexghiti@rivosinc.com/).
That's a temporary solution, there are ways to avoid that :)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
