[PATCH] ARM: dma-mapping: don't use the atomic pool for DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Thu May 09 2019 - 03:21:57 EST


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.
