[PATCH 5.13 198/223] mm: call flush_dcache_page() in memcpy_to_page() and memzero_page()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>

commit 8dad53a11f8d94dceb540a5f8f153484f42be84b upstream.

memcpy_to_page and memzero_page can write to arbitrary pages, which
could be in the page cache or in high memory, so call
flush_kernel_dcache_pages to flush the dcache.

This is a problem when using these helpers on dcache challeneged
architectures.  Right now there are just a few users, chances are no one
used the PC floppy driver, the aha1542 driver for an ISA SCSI HBA, and a
few advanced and optional btrfs and ext4 features on those platforms yet
since the conversion.
