When rewriting swapper using nG mappings, we must performance cache
maintenance around each page table access in order to avoid coherency
problems with the host's cacheable alias under KVM. To ensure correct
ordering of the maintenance with respect to Device memory accesses made
with the Stage-1 MMU disabled, DMBs need to be added between the
maintenance and the corresponding memory access.
This patch adds a missing DMB between writing a new page table entry and
performing a clean+invalidate on the same line.

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.
