As an optimization, cpa_flush() was changed to optionally only flush
the range in @cpa if it was small enough. However, this range does
not include any direct map aliases changed in cpa_process_alias(). So
small set_memory_() calls that touch that alias don't get the direct
map changes flushed. This situation can happen when the virtual
address taking variants are passed an address in vmalloc or modules
space.
In these cases, force a full TLB flush.
Note this issue does not extend to cases where the set_memory_() calls are
passed a direct map address, or page array, etc, as the primary target. In
those cases the direct map would be flushed.

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.
