John David Anglin 13d57093c1 parisc: Handle vma's whose context is not current in flush_cache_range
In testing James' patch to drivers/parisc/pdc_stable.c, I hit the BUG
statement in flush_cache_range() during a system shutdown:

kernel BUG at arch/parisc/kernel/cache.c:595!
CPU: 2 PID: 6532 Comm: kworker/2:0 Not tainted 4.13.0-rc2+ #1

This patch modifies flush_cache_range() to handle non current contexts.
In as much as this occurs infrequently, the simplest approach is to
flush the entire cache when this happens.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
