------------------------------------------------------ From: Mikulas Patocka mpatocka@redhat.com Subject: arch/x86/lib/usercopy_64.c: fix __copy_user_flushcache() cache writeback
If we copy less than 8 bytes and if the destination crosses a cache line, __copy_user_flushcache would invalidate only the first cache line. This patch makes it invalidate the second cache line as well.
