Subject: [PATCH] agp/uninorth: Fix oops caused by flushing too much
Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 15:33:08 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100602053308.GA24509@drongo> (raw)

This fixes a sporadic oops at boot on G5 Power Macs.  The table_end
variable has the address of the last byte of the table.  Adding on
PAGE_SIZE means we flush too much, and if the page after the table
is not mapped for any reason, the kernel will oops.  Instead we add
on 1 because flush_dcache_range() interprets its second argument as
the first byte past the range to be flushed.
