Subject: [PATCH v6 03/38] mm: Add generic flush_icache_pages() and documentation
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2023 16:13:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230802151406.3735276-4-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230802151406.3735276-1-willy@infradead.org>
flush_icache_page() is deprecated but not yet removed, so add
a range version of it. Change the documentation to refer to
update_mmu_cache_range() instead of update_mmu_cache().
