I am trying to get my head around the below function.
void vma_invalidate_tlb(struct i915_address_space *vm, u32 tlb)
{
WRITE_ONCE(tlb, intel_gt_next_invalidate_tlb_full(vm->gt));
}
Though we pass obj->mm.tlb for 'tlb' while calling this function,
aren't we writing to local 'tlb' variable here instead of obj->mm.tlb?

May be we can skip 'void' and just keep function name here.
