Subject: [PATCH] ARM: dma-mapping: don't use the atomic pool for DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING
Date: Thu,  9 May 2019 09:20:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190509072006.727-1-hch@lst.de> (raw)

DMA allocations with the DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING do not return a kernel
virtual address for use in driver, but are expected to be used entirely
for userspace mappings and/or device private memory.

Because of that we don't need to remap them as uncached, and thus don't need
the atomic pool for non-blocking allocations.  Note that using the
DMA allocator with DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING from non-blocking context
on a non-coherent device is actually broken without this patch as well, as
we feed the address passes to dma_free_attrs directly to the genpool
allocator, but for DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING allocations it actually
contains the address of the first page pointer.
