When calling flush_icache_range with a size >4GB, we were masking
off the upper 32 bits, so we would incorrectly flush a range
smaller
than intended.
This patch replaces the 32 bit shifts with 64 bit ones, so that
the full size is accounted for.
Heads-up for backporters: the old version of flush_dcache_range is
subject to a similar bug (this has since been replaced with a C
implementation).
Can you submit a patch to stable, explaining this ?
This patch was sent to stable too - or did you mean send another patch
for the stable asm version of flush_dcache_range?
Yes I meant a patch for your 'heads-up', in extenso a patch for fixing
flush_dcache_range().
And for this patch, you put stable is copy of the mail, but for it to be
taken into account it needs to also explicitely include a Cc:
stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in the commit message. I guess Michael will add
it for this time.
