[PATCH 0/3] UIO_MEM_DMA_COHERENT for cnic/bnx2/bnx2x

[Chris Leech]

During bnx2i iSCSI testing we ran into page refcounting issues in the
uio mmaps exported from cnic to the iscsiuio process, and bisected back
to the removal of the __GFP_COMP flag from dma_alloc_coherent calls.

In order to fix these drivers to be able to mmap dma coherent memory via
a uio device, without resorting to hacks and working with an iommu
enabled, introduce a new uio mmap type backed by dma_mmap_coherent.

While converting the uio interface, I also noticed that not all of these
allocations were PAGE_SIZE aligned. Particularly the bnx2/bnx2x status
block mapping was much smaller than any architecture page size, and I
was concerned that it could be unintentionally exposing kernel memory.

Chris Leech (3):
  uio: introduce UIO_DMA_COHERENT type
  cnic. bnx2, bnx2x: page align uio mmap allocations
  cnic, bnx2, bnx2x: use UIO_MEM_DMA_COHERENT
