[Xen-devel] [PATCH MM-PART2 v2 19/19] xen/arm: Pair call to set_fixmap with call to clear_fixmap in copy_from_paddr

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxx>]

At the moment, set_fixmap may replace a valid entry without following
the break-before-make sequence. This may result to TLB conflict abort.

Rather than dealing with Break-Before-Make in set_fixmap, every call to
set_fixmap is paired with a call to clear_fixmap.
