What was the change trying to achieve? What was wrong with flush_dcache_page(page)?
The wrong page was being passed to flush_dcache_page(). 'page' is not what is being written to with kernel cpu stores.
The real problem is that Alan stuck the raw 2.4.x version of the fix into 2.5, it compiled on x86 because the argument doesn't get evaluated, so we just need to fix it up :-)
And as Andrew stated, there are many other problems with the ramdisk driver in 2.5.x - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
