Under what circumstances is that an issue? We'll only be tearing down
the DMA ops when unbinding the driver,
Or when deferring probe.
and I think it would be erroneous to expect the device to retain much
state
after that. Everything else would be set up from scratch again if it
get
reprobed later, so why not the DMA ops?
Because the DMA ops might have been set elsewhere than
arch_setup_dma_ops().
If you look at the patch that added the above warning, its commit
message
states

arm: dma-mapping: Don't override dma_ops in arch_setup_dma_ops()
The arch_setup_dma_ops() function is in charge of setting dma_ops
with a
call to set_dma_ops(). set_dma_ops() is also called from
- highbank and mvebu bus notifiers
- dmabounce (to be replaced with swiotlb)
- arm_iommu_attach_device
(arm_iommu_attach_device is itself called from IOMMU and bus master
device drivers)
To allow the arch_setup_dma_ops() call to be moved from device add
time
to device probe time we must ensure that dma_ops already setup by
any of
the above callers will not be overriden.
Aftering replacing dmabounce with swiotlb, converting IOMMU drivers
to
of_xlate and taking care of highbank and mvebu, the workaround
should be
removed.
I'm concerned about potentially breaking these if we unconditionally
remove
the DMA ops and mapping.
arch_teardown_dma_ops does nothing if there is
no mapping (not behind iommu), dma_ops without iommu is ok.
But when the arm_iommu_create_mapping/arm_iommu_attach_device
was called previously in the iommu driver, after we teardown,
that path in the iommu driver which called those functions is not
replayed.
