The patch titled Subject: dax: clear dirty entry tags on cache flush has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was dax-clear-dirty-entry-tags-on-cache-flush.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> Subject: dax: clear dirty entry tags on cache flush Currently we never clear dirty tags in DAX mappings and thus address ranges to flush accumulate. Now that we have locking of radix tree entries, we have all the locking necessary to reliably clear the radix tree dirty tag when flushing caches for corresponding address range. Similarly to page_mkclean() we also have to write-protect pages to get a page fault when the page is next written to so that we can mark the entry dirty again.
