From: Dave Hansen <dave.han...@linux.intel.com> Part of the global bit _setting_ patches also includes clearing the Global bit when we do not want it. That is done with set_memory_nonglobal(), which uses change_page_attr_clear() in pageattr.c under the covers.
The TLB flushing code inside pageattr.c has has checks like BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()), looking for interrupt disabling that might cause deadlocks. But, these also trip in early boot on certain preempt configurations. Just copy the existing BUG_ON() sequence from cpa_flush_range() to the other two sites and check for early boot.
