If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 1bc39742aab09248169ef9d3727c9def3528b3f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Baatz <gmbnomis@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:10:12 +0100 Subject: ARM: 7755/1: handle user space mapped pages in flush_kernel_dcache_page From: Simon Baatz <gmbnomis@xxxxxxxxx> commit 1bc39742aab09248169ef9d3727c9def3528b3f3 upstream. Commit f8b63c1 made flush_kernel_dcache_page a no-op assuming that the pages it needs to handle are kernel mapped only. However, for example when doing direct I/O, pages with user space mappings may occur. Thus, continue to do lazy flushing if there are no user space mappings. Otherwise, flush the kernel cache lines directly.
