To me it would feel more logical to put all the wrappers inside the
#ifdef CONFIG_HAS_DMA and not touch these stubs at all (what does it
mean to skip an inline no-op?). Or in fact, if dma_skip_sync() is
constant false for !HAS_DMA, then we could also just make the external
function declarations unconditional and remove the stubs. Not a critical
matter though, and I defer to whatever Christoph thinks is most
maintainable.

It's done like that due to that I'm adding a runtime check in the second
patch. I don't feel like touching this twice makes sense.

Huh? Why would anything need touching twice? All I'm saying is that it's pretty pointless to add any invocations of dma_skip_sync() in !HAS_DMA paths where we already know the whole API is stubbed out anyway. The only cases which are worth differentiating here are HAS_DMA + DMA_NEED_SYNC vs. HAS_DMA + !DMA_NEED_SYNC (with the subsequent runtime check then just subdividing the former).

There is no need to introduce these two.

I already replied to this in the previous thread. Some subsys may want
to check for the shortcut earlier to avoid call ladders of their own
functions. See patch 6 for example where I use this one.

Ugh, no. If the page pool code wants to be clever poking around and sidestepping parts of the documented API, it can flippin' well open-code a single addition to call __dma_sync_single_for_device() directly itself. I'm not at all keen on having to maintain "common" APIs for such niche trickery.

Thanks,
Robin.
