3.6.11.7-rc1 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Simon Baatz [ Upstream commit 1bc39742aab09248169ef9d3727c9def3528b3f3 ] 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.
