The patch titled Subject: mm: call flush_dcache_page() in memcpy_to_page() and memzero_page() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-call-flush_dcache_page-in-memcpy_to_page-and-memzero_page.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------ From: Christoph Hellwig hch@lst.de Subject: mm: call flush_dcache_page() in memcpy_to_page() and memzero_page()
memcpy_to_page and memzero_page can write to arbitrary pages, which could be in the page cache or in high memory, so call flush_kernel_dcache_pages to flush the dcache.
This is a problem when using these helpers on dcache challeneged architectures. Right now there are just a few users, chances are no one used the PC floppy dr\u0456ver, the aha1542 driver for an ISA SCSI HBA, and a few advanced and optional btrfs and ext4 features on those platforms yet since the conversion.
