BTW, in most cases we have already had right stride:

arch/arm64/include/asm/tlb.h has already this to get stride:

static inline void tlb_flush(struct mmu_gather *tlb)
{
   struct vm_area_struct vma = TLB_FLUSH_VMA(tlb->mm, 0);
   bool last_level = !tlb->freed_tables;
   unsigned long stride = tlb_get_unmap_size(tlb);
   int tlb_level = tlb_get_level(tlb);

   /*
    * If we're tearing down the address space then we only care about
    * invalidating the walk-cache, since the ASID allocator won't
    * reallocate our ASID without invalidating the entire TLB.
  */
  if (tlb->fullmm) {
      if (!last_level)
           flush_tlb_mm(tlb->mm);
       return;
  }

   __flush_tlb_range(&vma, tlb->start, tlb->end, stride,
    last_level, tlb_level);
}
