From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: rmap: fix cache flush on THP pages
Patch series "Fix some bugs related to ramp and dax", v7.
Patch 1-2 fix a cache flush bug, because subsequent patches depend on
those on those changes, there are placed in this series. Patch 3-4 are
preparation for fixing a dax bug in patch 5. Patch 6 is code cleanup
since the previous patch removes the usage of follow_invalidate_pte().
This patch (of 6):
The flush_cache_page() only remove a PAGE_SIZE sized range from the cache.
However, it does not cover the full pages in a THP except a head page.
Replace it with flush_cache_range() to fix this issue. At least, no
problems were found due to this. Maybe because the architectures that
have virtual indexed caches is less.
