  1. From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@nbd.name>
  2. Subject: MIPS: fix cache flushing for highmem pages
  3. Most cache flush ops were no-op for highmem pages. This led to nasty
  4. segfaults and (in the case of page_address(page) == NULL) kernel
  5. crashes.
  6. Fix this by always flushing highmem pages using kmap/kunmap_atomic
  7. around the actual cache flush. This might be a bit inefficient, but at
  8. least it's stable.
