The patch titled Subject: mm: shmem: fix missing cache flush in shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-shmem-fix-missing-cache-flush-in-shmem_mfill_atomic_pte.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: shmem: fix missing cache flush in shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() userfaultfd calls shmem_mfill_atomic_pte() which does not do any cache flushing for the target page. 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.
