Subject: [PATCHv2] remove unnecessary cache flush on v6 copypage
Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2011 09:30:19 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110707143019.GA16819@heechul-desktop> (raw)


ARM: mm: remove unnecessary cache flush on v6 copypage

Originally introduced to maintain coherency between icache and dcache
in v6 nonaliasing mode. This is now handled by __sync_icache_dcache since
c0177800, therefore unneceary in this function.
