Subject[PATCH 1/1] arm64/hugetlb: clear PG_dcache_clean if the page is dirty when munmap
Date
At present, PG_dcache_clean is only cleared when the related huge page
is about to be freed. But sometimes, there maybe a process is in charge
to copy binary codes into a shared memory, and notifies other processes
to execute base on that. For the first time, there is no problem, because
the default value of page->flags is PG_dcache_clean cleared. So the cache
will be maintained at the time of set_pte_at for other processes. But if
the content of the shared memory have been updated again, there is no
cache operations, because the PG_dcache_clean is still set.

For example:
Process A
open a hugetlbfs file
mmap it as a shared memory
copy some binary codes into it
munmap

Process B
open the hugetlbfs file
mmap it as a shared memory, executable
invoke the functions in the shared memory
munmap

repeat the above steps.
