From: Paul Burton <redacted> Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 02:37:58 +0000 Subject: MIPS: Handle highmem pages in __update_cache From: Paul Burton <redacted> commit f4281bba818105c7c91799abe40bc05c0dbdaa25 upstream. The following patch will expose __update_cache to highmem pages. Handle them by mapping them in for the duration of the cache maintenance, just like in __flush_dcache_page. The code for that isn't shared because we need the page address in __update_cache so sharing became messy. Given that the entirity is an extra 5 lines, just duplicate it.
