[PATCH v3 04/24] dmaengine: qcom_hidma: Remove call to memset after dmam_alloc_coherent

[Fuqian Huang]

In commit 518a2f1925c3
("dma-mapping: zero memory returned from dma_alloc_*"),
dma_alloc_coherent has already zeroed the memory.
So memset is not needed.

I don't see SWIO or ARM64 IOMMU drivers getting impacted by
the mentioned change above (518a2f1925c3).

How does this new behavior apply globally?

In the last version patch set, I referenced the commit af7ddd8a627c
("Merge tag 'dma-mapping-4.21' of
git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping")
in the commit log.
The merged commit mentions that
"ensure dma_alloc_coherent returns zeroed memory to
avoid kernel data leaks through userspace.
We already did this for most common architectures,
but this ensures we do it everywhere."
dma_alloc_coherent has already zeroed the memory during allocation
and the commit also deprecates dma_zalloc_coherent.
Greg and other maintainer told me to use the actual commit
rather than the merged commit.
So I reference the commit that ensures the dma_alloc_coherent to
returns zeroed memory every where.
Maybe this belongs to the `most common achitectures` and is not impacted
by the mentioned change.
Should I rewrite the commit log? Just mention that dma_alloc_coherent
has already
zeroed the memory and not to reference the commit?

I'd like to hear from Robin Murphy that arm smmu driver follows this as
well.

I'd be lying if I said it did.

...but only because that's never been part of the SMMU driver's 
responsibility either way. The iommu-dma layer however, and thus the 
respective arm64 iommu_dma_ops, has always zeroed allocations right from 
its inception.

518a2f1925c3 was just cleaning up the last of the stragglers which 
*weren't* already clearing buffers anyway, such that we could formalise 
that behaviour into the API.

Robin.

Thanks for confirming the behavior for arm64 arch.
