    dax: fix cache flush on PMD-mapped pages · e583b5c4
    Muchun Song authored
    The flush_cache_page() only remove a PAGE_SIZE sized range from the cache.
    However, it does not cover the full pages in a THP except a head page. 
    Replace it with flush_cache_range() to fix this issue.  This is just a
    documentation issue with the respect to properly documenting the expected
    usage of cache flushing before modifying the pmd.  However, in practice
    this is not a problem due to the fact that DAX is not available on
    architectures with virtually indexed caches per:
    
      commit d92576f1 ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")
