[PATCH v9 46/96] mm: Add flush_dcache_folio

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>
Date: 2021-05-05 16:05:21
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: documentation, generic include/asm header files, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Arnd Bergmann, Linus Torvalds

This is a default implementation which calls flush_dcache_page() on
each page in the folio.  If architectures can do better, they should
implement their own version of it.

Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org>
