TLB synchronisation typically involves the SMMU blocking all incoming transactions until the TLBs report completion of all outstanding operations. In the common SMMUv2 configuration of a single distributed SMMU serving multiple peripherals, that means that a single unmap request has the potential to bring the hammer down on the entire system if synchronised globally. Since stage 1 contexts, and stage 2 contexts under SMMUv2, offer local sync operations, let's make use of those wherever we can in the hope of minimising global disruption. To that end, rather than add any more branches to the already unwieldy monolithic TLB maintenance ops, break them up into smaller, neater, functions which we can then mix and match as appropriate.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
