ARM926 (MX27) D-cache writethrough bug fix.
Patch for ARM926 (MX27) D-cache writethrough bug fix.
Source: linux-arm-kernel list, posted by Gilles Maigne on 11/17/06.
Text from e-mail posting:
arm926_dma_flush_range write the content of dcache in memory when linux
is configured with CONFIG_CPU_DCACHE_WRITETHROUGH ( cache in
write-through) and does not invalidate the virtual address range.
This is wrong for two reasons :
1/ the cache line does not need to be written because the cache is
write-through
2/ the cache line is not invalidated, so next read at this address may
come from the cache, which is wrong because main memory may contain
valid data resulting of a DMA transaction.
This patch applies to linux 2.6.18
