From: Baolin Wang Subject: mm: hugetlb: add missing cache flushing in hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds() Missed calling flush_cache_range() before removing the sharing PMD entrires, otherwise data consistence issue may be occurred on some architectures whose caches are strict and require a virtual>physical translation to exist for a virtual address. Thus add it. Now no architectures enabling PMD sharing will be affected, since they do not have a VIVT cache. That means this issue can not be happened in practice so far.
