The allocated pages need to be invalidated in CPU caches. On ARM32 the
DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL flag only ensures that data is written-back to DRAM and
the data stays in CPU cache lines. While the DMA_FROM_DEVICE flag ensures
that the corresponding CPU cache lines are getting invalidated and nothing
more, that's exactly what is needed for a newly allocated pages.
This fixes randomly failing rendercheck tests on Tegra30 using the
Opentegra driver for tests that use small-sized pixmaps (10x10 and less,
i.e. 1-2 memory pages) because apparently CPU reads out stale data from
caches and/or that data is getting evicted to DRAM at the time of HW job
execution.

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.
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.
