[PATCH] MIPS: Fix highmem crash in __update_cache.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Due to a change in flush_dcache_page, highmem pages may have the
dcache dirty flag set. Until there is proper support for highmen in
cache.c we must filter out highmem pages to avoid NULL pointer
dereferences.
