2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Dan Williams commit c7cf72dcadbe39c2077b32460f86c9f8167be3be upstream When 'start' and 'end' are less than a cacheline apart and 'start' is unaligned we are done after cleaning and invalidating the first cacheline. So check for (start < end) which will not walk off into invalid address ranges when (start > end). This issue was caught by drivers/dma/dmatest. 2.6.27 is susceptible.
