Need of dsb and isb is what ARM ARM says but then I got bit biased after
your reply.

Indeed.

You mean AMRMv7 SMP PT walkers can read from L1 cache and hence doesn't need 
flushing L1. While this could be true, for some reason we don't the same
behavior and seeing that without flush we are seeing the issue.

Initially we were doing entire cache flush but moved to the mva based
routines on your suggestion.

Regarding the pud_populate(), since we needed L_PGD_SWAPPER, we couldn't
use that version but updated patch uses the set_pud() which takes the flag.
And pmd_populate() can't be used either because it creates pte based
tables which is not what we want.

So the current working patch as it stands is end of the email. Do let
us know if we are missing anything for the PTW L1 allocation behavior.

Regards,
Santosh

Subject: [PATCH v3 5/8] ARM: mm: Recreate kernel mappings in
 early_paging_init()

This patch adds a step in the init sequence, in order to recreate
the kernel code/data page table mappings prior to full paging
initialization.  This is necessary on LPAE systems that run out of
a physical address space outside the 4G limit.  On these systems,
this implementation provides a machine descriptor hook that allows
the PHYS_OFFSET to be overridden in a machine specific fashion.

Based on Cyril's initial patch. The pv_table needs to be patched
again after switching to higher address space.
