[PATCH RFC] cache: Make cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() error out if there are no handlers
From: Bence Csokas
Date: Tue Sep 22 2026 - 03:44:28 EST
Currently, if there are no registered handlers,
cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() returns 0. Callers are expected to check
cpu_cache_has_invalidate_memregion() and return -ENXIO themselves, instead
of calling this function. If a caller forgets to do this, they may
erroneously think the operation succeeded. This is in contrast to x86,
where cpu_cache_invalidate_memregion() itself checks if the operation is
supported, and returns -ENXIO if it is not.
