Patch series "Fix some bugs related to ramp and dax", v7.
Patch 1-2 fix a cache flush bug, because subsequent patches depend on
those on those changes, there are placed in this series. Patch 3-4 are
preparation for fixing a dax bug in patch 5. Patch 6 is code cleanup
since the previous patch removes the usage of follow_invalidate_pte().
This patch (of 6):
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. At least, no
problems were found due to this. Maybe because the architectures that
have virtual indexed caches is less.

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.
