2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Jack Steiner commit fa526d0d641b5365676a1fb821ce359e217c9b85 upstream. Fix address passed to cpa_flush_range() when changing page attributes from WB to UC. The address (*addr) is modified by __change_page_attr_set_clr(). The result is that the pages being flushed start at the _end_ of the changed range instead of the beginning. This should be considered for 2.6.30-stable and 2.6.31-stable.
