It turns out that while s390 architecture calls its memory-I/O mapping variants write-through and write-back the implementation of ioremap_wt() and pgprot_writethrough() does not match Linux notion of ioremap_wt(). In particular Linux expects ioremap_wt() to be weaker still than ioremap_wc(), allowing not just gathering and re-ordering but also reads to be served from cache. Instead s390's implementation is equivalent to normal ioremap() while its ioremap_wc() allows re-ordering. Note that there are no known users of ioremap_wt() on s390 and the resulting behavior is in line with asm-generic defining ioremap_wt() as ioremap(), if undefined, so no breakage is expected. As s390 does not have a mapping type matching the Linux notion of ioremap_wt() and pgprot_writethrough(), simply drop them and rely on the asm-generic fallbacks instead.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
