[PATCH v4 1/5] mm: thp: fix wrong cache flush in remove_migration_pmd()

From: Muchun Song
Date: Tue Feb 08 2022 - 02:36:42 EST


The flush_cache_range() is supposed to be justified only if the page
is already placed in process page table, and that is done right after
flush_cache_range(). So using this interface is wrong. And there is
no need to invalite cache since it was non-present before in
remove_migration_pmd(). So just to remove it.
