Good find and I presume painful to debug.

Interesting though how the error tricked finally as the root cause was
arc_dma_sync_single*() were broken to begin with.

Prior to common ops rework, arc_dma_sync_single_for_device() would unconditionally
do cache wback, independent of the direction (by calling _dma_cache_sync helper
with TO_DEVICE). In 713a74624bba ("arc: simplify
arc_dma_sync_single_for_{cpu,device}") Christoph changed this to skip the helper.
And then in a8eb92d02dd7, the usage of these routines was prolifirated to the more
common kernel API dma_*map_page() API and that is where the original deficiency
showed up. I'll add this bit of history to changelog to remember this better.

Very nice !  Added to for-curr
