ARC backend for dma_sync_single_for_(device|cpu) was broken as it was not honoring the @dir argument and simply forcing it based on the call: - arc_dma_sync_single_for_device(dir) assumed DMA_TO_DEVICE (cache wback) - arc_dma_sync_single_for_cpu(dir) assumed DMA_FROM_DEVICE (cache inv) This is not true given the DMA API programming model and has been discussed here [1] in some detail. Interestingly while the deficiency has been there forever, it only started showing up after 4.17 dma common ops rework, commita8eb92d02d("arc: fix arc_dma_{map,unmap}_page") which wired up these calls under the more commonly used dma_map_page API triggering the issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
