Subject: [PATCH] ARM: avoid cache flushing in flush_dcache_page()
Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2016 11:30:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1478514624-30910-1-git-send-email-rabin.vincent@axis.com> (raw)
From: Rabin Vincent <rabinv@axis.com>
When the data cache is PIPT or VIPT non-aliasing, and cache operations
are broadcast by the hardware, we can always postpone the flush in
flush_dcache_page(). A similar change was done for ARM64 in commit
b5b6c9e9149d ("arm64: Avoid cache flushing in flush_dcache_page()").
