Does this work as you would expect with small pages (and for example shared file mmap)? I don't want to have a different behaviour between small and huge pages.

At present, PG_dcache_clean is only cleared when the related huge page is about to be freed. But sometimes, there maybe a process is in charge to copy binary codes into a shared memory, and notifies other processes to execute base on that. For the first time, there is no problem, because the default value of page->flags is PG_dcache_clean cleared. So the cache will be maintained at the time of set_pte_at for other processes. But if the content of the shared memory have been updated again, there is no cache operations, because the PG_dcache_clean is still set. For example: Process A open a hugetlbfs file mmap it as a shared memory copy some binary codes into it munmap Process B open the hugetlbfs file mmap it as a shared memory, executable invoke the functions in the shared memory munmap repeat the above steps.
