[PATCH] ARM: LPAE: initialize cachepolicy correctly

From: Stefan Agner
Date: Sun Sep 04 2016 - 01:43:42 EST


The cachepolicy variable gets initialized using a masked pmd
So far, the pmd has been masked with flags valid for the 2-page
table format. In the LPAE case, this lead to a wrong assumption
of what the initial cachepolicy has been used. Later a check
forces the cache policy to writealloc and prints the following
warning:
Forcing write-allocate cache policy for SMP

This patch uses PMD_SECT_WBWA to mask all cache setting flags.
The define represents the complete mask of the cache relevant
flags for both page table formats.
