Do it for safety purpose. This flush needs to be moved in p2m_clear_root_pages(). Cheers,

Thanks for confirming this, would adding another PROGRESS stage such as PROGRESS(p2m_clean) before PROGRESS(p2m) seem ok to you? > > > ret = p2m_teardown(d, true); > > if ( ret ) > > return ret; > > diff --git a/xen/arch/arm/include/asm/p2m.h > b/xen/arch/arm/include/asm/p2m.h > > index 91df922e1c..bf5183e53a 100644 > > --- a/xen/arch/arm/include/asm/p2m.h > > +++ b/xen/arch/arm/include/asm/p2m.h > > @@ -281,6 +281,7 @@ int p2m_set_entry(struct p2m_domain *p2m, > > > > bool p2m_resolve_translation_fault(struct domain *d, gfn_t gfn); > > > > +void p2m_clear_root_pages(struct p2m_domain *p2m); > > void p2m_invalidate_root(struct p2m_domain *p2m); > > > > /* > > diff --git a/xen/arch/arm/p2m.c b/xen/arch/arm/p2m.c > > index 948f199d84..0c942c5923 100644 > > --- a/xen/arch/arm/p2m.c > > +++ b/xen/arch/arm/p2m.c > > @@ -1314,6 +1314,18 @@ static void p2m_invalidate_table(struct > p2m_domain *p2m, mfn_t mfn) > > p2m->need_flush = true; > > } > > > > /* > > * The domain will not be scheduled anymore, so in theory we should > > * not need to flush the TLBs.

The would be fine with me. Cheers,

Do it for safety purpose.
Currently, p2m for a domain will be teardown from two paths: (1) The normal path when a domain is destroyed. (2) The arch_domain_destroy() in the failure path of domain creation. When tearing down p2m from (1), the part to clear and clean the root is only needed to do once rather than for every call of p2m_teardown(). If the p2m teardown is from (2), the clear and clean of the root is unnecessary because the domain is not scheduled. Therefore, this patch introduces a helper `p2m_clear_root_pages()` to do the clear and clean of the root, and move this logic outside of p2m_teardown(). With this movement, the `page_list_empty(&p2m->pages)` check can be dropped.
