3.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Steve Capper <steve.capper@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 923b8f5044da753e4985ab15c1374ced2cdf616c upstream.
The __sync_icache_dcache routine will only flush the dcache for the
first page of a compound page, potentially leading to stale icache
data residing further on in a hugetlb page.
This patch addresses this issue by taking into consideration the
order of the page when flushing the dcache.
