From 6c434d6176c0cb42847c33245189667d645db7bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ross Zwisler Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 10:15:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Do not flush last cacheline twice in clflush_cache_range() The current algorithm used in clflush_cache_range() can cause the last cache line of the buffer to be flushed twice. Fix that algorithm so that each cache line will only be flushed once. Reported-by: H.
