[68/93] [libata] Call flush_dcache_page after PIO data transfers in libata-sff.c

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Feb 19 2010 - 12:08:10 EST


2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>

commit 2d68b7fe55d9e19a8a868224ed0dfd6526568521 upstream.

flush_dcache_page() must be called after (!ATA_TFLAG_WRITE) the
data copying to avoid D-cache aliasing with user space or I-D cache
coherency issues (when reading data from an ATA device using PIO,
the kernel dirties the D-cache but there is no flush_dcache_page()
required on Harvard architectures).
