I don't think we need any D-cache flushing for copy_user_page(), so we could simply remove this code and define copy_user_page() as copy_page() (similarly for clear_user_page). I'll post a patch separately removing the copy_page, copy_user_page etc. functions (now that we also have optimised memcpy and memset).

I much prefer removing code than adding it. Thanks. For the time being I'll merge your patch since using memset for clear_page adds a small overhead with checking the alignment and the fill value (not much but consistently slower in my mmap benchmarks).

The __cpu_clear_user_page() and __cpu_copy_user_page() functions are not currently exported. This prevents modules from using clear_user_page() and opy_user_page(). Signed-off-by: Mark Salter <msalter@redhat.com> --- arch/arm64/mm/copypage.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+)
