With recent changes that introduced support for Page Pool in stmmac, Jon
reported that NFS boot was no longer working on an ARM64 based platform
that had the IP behind an IOMMU.
As Page Pool API does not guarantee DMA syncing because of the use of
DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC flag, we have to explicit sync the whole buffer upon
re-allocation because we are always re-using same pages.
In fact, ARM64 code invalidates the DMA area upon two situations [1]:
- sync_single_for_cpu(): Invalidates if direction != DMA_TO_DEVICE
- sync_single_for_device(): Invalidates if direction == DMA_FROM_DEVICE
So, as we must invalidate both the current RX buffer and the newly allocated
buffer we propose this fix.

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.
