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 padding is needed. So tcmu_flush_dcache_range() can safely be called with sizeof(entry->hdr) as the length here. 2) After it has written a command to cmd ring, tcmu calls tcmu_flush_dcache_range() using the size of a struct tcmu_cmd_entry as data length to flush. But if a command needs many iovecs, the real size of the command may be bigger then tcmu_cmd_entry, so a part of the written command is not flushed then.
