Christoph Hellwig 8dad53a11f mm: call flush_dcache_page() in memcpy_to_page() and memzero_page() 
memcpy_to_page and memzero_page can write to arbitrary pages, which
could be in the page cache or in high memory, so call
flush_kernel_dcache_pages to flush the dcache.

This is a problem when using these helpers on dcache challeneged
architectures.  Right now there are just a few users, chances are no one
used the PC floppy driver, the aha1542 driver for an ISA SCSI HBA, and a
few advanced and optional btrfs and ext4 features on those platforms yet
since the conversion.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
