When updating pmd entry such as allocating new pmd page or splitting huge page into normal page, it is necessary to firstly update all pte entries, and then update pmd entry. It is weak order with LoongArch system, there will be problem if other VCPUs see pmd update firstly while ptes are not updated. Here smp_wmb() is added to assure this.

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 reStructuredText 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.
