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.
