    [PATCH] powerpc: Cleanup, consolidating icache dirtying logic · 09f5dc44
    David Gibson 提交于
    The code to mark a page as icache dirty (so that it will later be
    icache-dcache flushed when we try to execute from it) is duplicated in
    three places: flush_dcache_page() does this marking and nothing else,
    but clear_user_page() and copy_user_page() duplicate it, since those
    functions make the page icache dirty themselves.
    
    This patch makes those other functions call flush_dcache_page()
    instead, so the logic's all in one place.  This will make life less
    confusing if we ever need to tweak the details of the the lazy icache
    flush mechanism.
