[PATCH] powerpc: Cleanup, consolidating icache dirtying logic
The code to mark a page as icache dirty (so that it will later be icache-dcache flushed when we try to execute from it) is duplicated in three places: flush_dcache_page() does this marking and nothing else, but clear_user_page() and copy_user_page() duplicate it, since those functions make the page icache dirty themselves. This patch makes those other functions call flush_dcache_page() instead, so the logic's all in one place. This will make life less confusing if we ever need to tweak the details of the the lazy icache flush mechanism. arch/powerpc/mm/mem.c | 14 ++------------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: David Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
