scsi: target: tcmu: Fix size in calls to tcmu_flush_dcache_range
1) If remaining ring space before the end of the ring is smaller then the next cmd to write, tcmu writes a padding entry which fills the remaining space at the end of the ring. Then tcmu calls tcmu_flush_dcache_range() with the size of struct tcmu_cmd_entry as data length to flush. If the space filled by the padding was smaller then tcmu_cmd_entry, tcmu_flush_dcache_range() is called for an address range reaching behind the end of the vmalloc'ed ring. tcmu_flush_dcache_range() in a loop calls flush_dcache_page(virt_to_page(start)); for every page being part of the range. On x86 the line is optimized out by the compiler, as flush_dcache_page() is empty on x86. But I assume the above can cause trouble on other architectures that really have a flush_dcache_page(). For paddings only the header part of an entry is relevant due to alignment rules the header always fits in the remaining space, if pa...
