Subject: ARM: 7923/1: mm: fix dcache flush logic for compound high pages
From: Steven Capper <steve.capper@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2a7cfcbc0553365d75716f69ee7b704cac7c9248 upstream.
When given a compound high page, __flush_dcache_page will only flush
the first page of the compound page repeatedly rather than the entire
set of constituent pages.
This error was introduced by:
0b19f93 ARM: mm: Add support for flushing HugeTLB pages.
This patch corrects the logic such that all constituent pages are now
flushed.
