From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Mar 13 2009 - 21:35:22 EST


2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit f6fcba7014f9cc535fa75ef98c008b24e49e2212 upstream.

Impact: proper vcache flush on unmap_kernel_range()

flush_cache_vunmap() should be called before pages are unmapped. Add
a call to it in unmap_kernel_range().
