When dirty logging is enabled, we collapse block entries into tables as necessary. If dirty logging gets canceled, we can end-up merging tables back into block entries. When this happens, we must not only free the non-huge page-table pages but also invalidate all the TLB entries that can potentially cover the block. Otherwise, we end-up with multiple possible translations for the same physical page, which can legitimately result in a TLB conflict. To address this, replease the bogus invalidation by IPA with a full VM invalidation. Although this is pretty heavy handed, it happens very infrequently and saves a bunch of invalidations by IPA.

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.
