Subject: [merged mm-stable] dax-fix-cache-flush-on-pmd-mapped-pages.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Mon, 09 May 2022 21:11:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220510041138.6550EC385C2@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: dax: fix cache flush on PMD-mapped pages
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     dax-fix-cache-flush-on-pmd-mapped-pages.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mm-stable

From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com>
Subject: dax: fix cache flush on PMD-mapped pages

The flush_cache_page() only remove a PAGE_SIZE sized range from the cache.
However, it does not cover the full pages in a THP except a head page. 
Replace it with flush_cache_range() to fix this issue.  This is just a
documentation issue with the respect to properly documenting the expected
usage of cache flushing before modifying the pmd.  However, in practice
this is not a problem due to the fact that DAX is not available on
architectures with virtually indexed caches per:

  commit d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")
