xen: make sure stray alias mappings are gone before pinning
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Xen requires that all mappings of pagetable pages are read-only, so
that they can't be updated illegally.  As a result, if a page is being
turned into a pagetable page, we need to make sure all its mappings
are RO.

If the page had been used for ioremap or vmalloc, it may still have
left over mappings as a result of not having been lazily unmapped.
This change makes sure we explicitly mop them all up before pinning
the page.

Unlike aliases created by kmap, the there can be vmalloc aliases even
for non-high pages, so we must do the flush unconditionally.
