From 6020dff09252e3670a89edb36baaa4afb9b10d15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2006 23:17:40 +0000 Subject: [ARM] Resolve fuse and direct-IO failures due to missing cache flushes fuse does not work on ARM due to cache incoherency issues - fuse wants to use get_user_pages() to copy data from the current process into kernel space. However, since this accesses userspace via the kernel mapping, the kernel mapping can be out of date wrt data written to userspace. This can lead to unpredictable behaviour (in the case of fuse) or data corruption for direct-IO.
