When dma_addr_t and phys_addr_t are not the same size, we get a warning

The problem here is that dma_alloc_wc() returns a pointer to a dma_addr_t
that may already be translated by an IOMMU, but the driver passes this
into iommu_map() as a physical address. This works by accident only when
the IOMMU does not get registered with the DMA API and there is a 1:1
mapping between physical addresses as seen by the CPU and the device.

The fundamental problem here is the lack of a generic API to do what the
driver wants: allocating CPU-visible memory for use by a device through
user-defined IOMMU settings. Neither the dma-mapping API nor the IOMMU
API can do this by itself, and combining the two is not well-defined.

This patch addresses the type mismatch by adding a third pointer into the
push_buffer structure: in addition to the address as seen from the CPU
and the address inside of the local IOMMU domain, the pb->alloc pointer
is the token returned by dma_alloc_wc(), and this is what we later need
to pass into dma_free_wc().

The address we pass into iommu_map() however is the physical address
computed from virt_to_phys(), assuming that the pointer we have here
is part of the linear mapping (which is also questionable, e.g. when we
have a non-coherent device on ARM32 this may be false). Also, when
the DMA API uses the IOMMU to allocate the pointer for the default
domain, we end up with two IOMMU mappings for the same physical address.


I think we have a "policy" on Tegra that the DMA API will never allocate using the IOMMU (Thierry can elaborate on this), which is why I wrote the code with that assumption. Essentially, we have made the DMA API into the API that allocates CPU-visible memory.

Considering that, I'm wondering if we can just have a temporary local dma_addr_t and then cast that to phys_addr_t, combined with a good comment?

Cheers,
Mikko.
