From f358afc52c3066f4e8cd7b3a2d75b31e822519e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2021 14:56:36 -0700 Subject: mm: remove flush_kernel_dcache_page flush_kernel_dcache_page is a rather confusing interface that implements a subset of flush_dcache_page by not being able to properly handle page cache mapped pages. The only callers left are in the exec code as all other previous callers were incorrect as they could have dealt with page cache pages. Replace the calls to flush_kernel_dcache_page with calls to flush_dcache_page, which for all architectures does either exactly the same thing, can contains one or more of the following: 1) an optimization to defer the cache flush for page cache pages not mapped into userspace 2) additional flushing for mapped page cache pages if cache aliases are possible Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210712060928.4161649-7-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Linus Torvalds Reviewed-by: Ira Weiny Cc: Alex Shi Cc: Geoff Levand Cc: Greentime Hu Cc: Guo Ren Cc: Helge Deller Cc: "James E.J.
