Subject: [PATCH] - Fix cacheflush address in change_page_attr_set_clr()
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 12:56:02 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090903175602.GA19952@sgi.com> (raw)
Fix address passed to cpa_flush_range() when changing page
attributes from WB to UC. The address (*addr) is
modified by __change_page_attr_set_clr(). The result is that
the pages being flushed start at the _end_ of the changed range
instead of the beginning.
