From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit 71fdb6bf61bf0692f004f9daf5650392c0cfe300 upstream.
Special pte mappings are not intended to be executable and do not even
have an associated struct page. This patch ensures that we do not call
__sync_icache_dcache() on such ptes.
