From 00a19f3e25c0c40e0ec77f52d4841d23ad269169 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rabin Vincent Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2016 09:21:19 +0100 Subject: ARM: 8627/1: avoid cache flushing in flush_dcache_page() When the data cache is PIPT or VIPT non-aliasing, and cache operations are broadcast by the hardware, we can always postpone the flush in flush_dcache_page(). A similar change was done for ARM64 in commit b5b6c9e9149d ("arm64: Avoid cache flushing in flush_dcache_page()").
