Non-strict mode is simply a case of skipping 'regular' leaf TLBIs, since the sync is already factored out into ops->iotlb_sync at the core API level. Non-leaf invalidations where we change the page table structure itself still have to be issued synchronously in order to maintain walk caches correctly. To save having to reason about it too much, make sure the invalidation in arm_lpae_split_blk_unmap() just performs its own unconditional sync to minimise the window in which we're technically violating the break- before-make requirement on a live mapping. This might work out redundant with an outer-level sync for strict unmaps, but we'll never be splitting blocks on a DMA fastpath anyway.

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.
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.
