When the range is a single page, do a page flush instead.

For just one page, you get end - start == 0 actually?

Oops, good catch.

Indeed you don't get PAGE_SIZE but (PAGE_SIZE - 1) for just one page.

You have all low bits masked off in both start and end, so you get zero.
You could make the condion read "if (start == end)?

No, in end the low bits are set, that's a BIT OR with ~PAGE_MASK, so it sets all low bits to 1.
