Subject[PATCH][2.5] add missing global_flush_tlb() after change_page_attr() calls
Date
After calling change_page_attr() global_flush_tlb() has to be called to 
kfree() some structures and make the changed page attributes visible by
flushing the relevant TLB entries.

This is not done in some places and this patch should fix it...

Thomas Schlichter

P.S.: I sent this patch on friday yet, but I think friday is a bad day for
sending patches... ;-)--- linux-2.5.62/arch/i386/mm/ioremap.c.orig Fri Feb 21 12:26:36 2003
