aoe: prevent cache aliases
Prevent the AoE block driver from creating cache aliases of page cache pages on machines with virtually indexed caches. Building kernels on an AT91SAM9G20 board without this patch fails with segmentation faults after a couple of passes. Signed-off-by: Peter Horton <zero@colonel-panic.org> Cc: "Ed L. Cashin" <ecashin@coraid.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
