From: Alastair D'Silva <redacted> 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.Isn't there the same issue in arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/cacheflush.S ? Christophe
Yes, there is. I'll fix it, but I wonder whether anything calls it? I asked Google, and every mention of it was in the kernel source or mailing list. Maybe BenH can chime in? -- Alastair D'Silva Open Source Developer Linux Technology Centre, IBM Australia mob: 0423 762 819
