Re: [PATCH V2] riscv: Use flush_icache_mm for flush_icache_user_range

[Guo Ren]

Hi all,

No ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE 1 in this patch, I'll remove it
in V3.

The update_mmu_cache() is wrong with sfence.vma and I'll give another
patch to fixup it with ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE 1.

Best Regards
 Guo Ren
