3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]> 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.
