From 98fb1ffd8154890d7051750e61ff5548c3ee2ab2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Cernekee Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 09:30:53 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] UBI: block: Add missing cache flushes Block drivers are responsible for calling flush_dcache_page() on each BIO request. This operation keeps the I$ coherent with the D$ on architectures that don't have hardware coherency support. Without this flush, random crashes are seen when executing user programs from an ext4 filesystem backed by a ubiblock device. This patch is based on the change implemented in commit 2d4dc890b5c8 ("block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages").
