Then the target page will be mapped to the user space with a different address (user address), which might have an alias issue with the kernel address used to copy the data from the user to. Insert flush_dcache_page() in non-zero-page case. And replace clear_highpage() with clear_user_highpage() which already considers the cache maintenance.
