[patch 004/164] libata: dont flush dcache on slab pages

[Greg KH]

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <sebastian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3842e835490cdf17013b30a788f6311bdcfd0571 upstream.

page_mapping() check this via VM_BUG_ON(PageSlab(page)) so we bug here
with the according debuging turned on.

Future TODO: replace this with a flush_dcache_page_for_pio() API
