The usage of __flush_tlb_all() in the kernel_physical_mapping_init() path is not necessary. In general flushing the TLB is not required when updating an entry from the !present state. However, to give confidence in the future removal of TLB flushing in this path, use the new set_pte_safe() family of helpers to assert that the !present assumption is true in this path.

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.
