Revision 8dad53a11f8d94dceb540a5f8f153484f42be84b authored by Christoph Hellwig on 23 July 2021, 22:50:17 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 24 July 2021, 00:43:28 UTC
memcpy_to_page and memzero_page can write to arbitrary pages, which
could be in the page cache or in high memory, so call
flush_kernel_dcache_pages to flush the dcache.

This is a problem when using these helpers on dcache challeneged
architectures.  Right now there are just a few users, chances are no one
used the PC floppy driver, the aha1542 driver for an ISA SCSI HBA, and a
few advanced and optional btrfs and ext4 features on those platforms yet
since the conversion.
