Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Fix HIGHMEM crash in __update_cache().
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2015 15:21:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1428672084-20676-1-git-send-email-larper@axis.com> (raw)
Commit 8b5fe5e54b47 ("MIPS: Fix race condition in lazy cache flushing.")
triggered NULL pointer dereferences on systems with HIGHMEM.
The problem was caused by not clearing the PG_dcache_dirty flag in
flush_icache_page() and thus we enter __update_cache() that lacks
support for HIGHMEM.
