Hi Janitors,

if someone feels like helping with a fairly trivial legacy API, the
wrappers in include/linux/pci-dma-compat.h should go away.  This is
mostly trivially scriptable, except for dma_alloc_coherent, where
the GFP_ATOMIC passed by pci_alloc_consisteny should usually be replaced
with GFP_KERNEL when not calling from an atomic context.


Hi,
what would be the best approach to work on, it?

I've processed the current tree, with the coccinelle script below.
For 'dma_alloc_coherent' calls, I've left a GFP_ on purpose, so that one need to wonder which flag is the best.

'make'ing the files before sending patches should spot the places were a correct flag has not been defined.

What puzzles me is that the script below >20k lines file and the diffstat is:
    288 files changed, 3963 insertions(+), 3857 deletions(-)


1. Does sending patches one file at a time makes sense?
2. Should the PCI_DMA_ --> DMA_ conversion should be handled first? (the #defined values are the same, it should be straightforward)
3. Should a huge patch series be sent to fix all at once?
4. Should we update everything except 'dma_alloc_coherent' all at once, then one file at a time for the allocation with correct GFP_ flag?


I could help with 1. or 2nd step of 4. This could go in the right direction, but would require time.

Other tree wide approaches look complex to me.
