[PATCH] mm: hugetlb: Add missing cache flushing in hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds()

From: Baolin Wang
Date: Sun Apr 24 2022 - 02:33:43 EST


Missed calling flush_cache_range() before removing the sharing PMD entrires,
otherwise data consistence issue may be occurred on some architectures whose
caches are strict and require a virtual–>physical translation to exist for
a virtual address. Thus add it.

Fixes: 6dfeaff93be1 ("hugetlb/userfaultfd: unshare all pmds for hugetlbfs when register wp")
