[patch 30/45] x86, pat: Fix cacheflush address in change_page_attr_set_clr()
From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Sep 16 2009 - 18:40:58 EST
2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Jack Steiner <steiner@xxxxxxx>
commit fa526d0d641b5365676a1fb821ce359e217c9b85 upstream.
Fix address passed to cpa_flush_range() when changing page
attributes from WB to UC. The address (*addr) is
modified by __change_page_attr_set_clr(). The result is that
the pages being flushed start at the _end_ of the changed range
instead of the beginning.
This should be considered for 2.6.30-stable and 2.6.31-stable.
