Flushing data cache on PPC405 in Linux

[John Linn]

I have a situation that requires a flush the data cache at specific time
periods to help with memory scrubbing.

On the 405, I don't see any easy way to do this since you don't know
what the cache has in it and there's not an instruction to flush the
whole cache.  It looks like a kernel driver is needed to map pages then
flush that data cache for the pages. 

I'm concerned there will be side affects I don't realize as I'm assuming
the driver would slowly go thru all of physical memory mapping pages
(cached or non-cached) and then flushing all addresses in the page(s).

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
John
