Commit fb396bb459c1 ("arm64/hugetlb: Drop TLB flush from get_clear_flush()")
removed TLB invalidation from get_clear_flush() [now get_clear_contig()]
on the basis that the core TLB invalidation code is aware of hugetlb
mappings backed by contiguous page-table entries and will cover the
correct virtual address range.
However, this change also resulted in the TLB invalidation being removed
from the "break" step in the break-before-make (BBM) sequence used
internally by huge_ptep_set_{access_flags,wrprotect}(), therefore
making the BBM sequence unsafe irrespective of later invalidation.
Although the architecture is desperately unclear about how exactly
contiguous ptes should be updated in a live page-table, restore TLB
invalidation to our BBM sequence under the assumption that BBM is the
right thing to be doing in the first place.

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.
