And one more patch as suggested by Steve Capper. Both would be needed.

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Do not synchronise I and D caches for special ptes

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.

Both let my simple test case pass (remap_pfn_range on io memory).
You can add my Tested-by to both patches.

Hi Catalin,

These patches are not yet posted if I have not missed. Also a little bit of confusion, will you be posting these patches or you want me/someone to post these couple of patches? I am assuming you will be posting these patches, if so any idea when we can see these patches?

Thanks

I added them in the arm64 for-next/core branch (on git.kernel.org) and
they are in linux-next (with a cc stable, though I didn't bother sending
a late -rc pull request for them).
