[PATCH] direct-dma: WARN_ON_ONCE when the page is not addressable by device's coherent_dma_mask

From: JohnHsu <john.hsu@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The dma_direct_alloc() may return null in some cases. For example, the
allocated page is not addressable for the device's coherent_dma_mask,
and the allocated page will be assigned to null.

This patch can WARN_ON_ONCE() when the returned page is null in
dma_direct_alloc. It helps the developers position the root cause of
allocation failure rapidly.
