From: Muchun Song Subject: dax: fix cache flush on PMD-mapped pages 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. This is just a documentation issue with the respect to properly documenting the expected usage of cache flushing before modifying the pmd. However, in practice this is not a problem due to the fact that DAX is not available on architectures with virtually indexed caches per: commit d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches") Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220403053957.10770-3-songmuchun@bytedance.com Fixes: f729c8c9b24f ("dax: wrprotect pmd_t in dax_mapping_entry_mkclean") Signed-off-by: Muchun Song Reviewed-by: Dan Williams Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Alistair Popple Cc: Al Viro Cc: Hugh Dickins Cc: Jan Kara Cc: "Kirill A.
