dma_common_mmap() and dma_common_get_sgtable() are defined in
drivers/base/dma-mapping.c, and always compiled if CONFIG_HAS_DMA=y.

However, their forward declarations and the inline functions defined on
top
of them (dma_mmap_attrs(), dma_mmap_coherent(), dma_mmap_writecombine(),
dma_get_sgtable_attrs()), dma_get_sgtable()) are in
<asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h>, which is not included by all
architectures supporting CONFIG_HAS_DMA=y.  There exist no alternative
implementations.

Hence for e.g. m68k allmodconfig, I get:

drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf2-dma-contig.c: In function ‘vb2_dc_mmap’:
drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf2-dma-contig.c:204: error: implicit
declaration of function ‘dma_mmap_coherent’
drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf2-dma-contig.c: In function
‘vb2_dc_get_base_sgt’:
drivers/media/v4l2-core/videobuf2-dma-contig.c:387: error: implicit
declaration of function ‘dma_get_sgtable’

To fix this
   - Move the forward declarations and inline definitions to
     <linux/dma-mapping.h>, so all CONFIG_HAS_DMA=y architectures can use
     them,
   - Replace the hard "BUG_ON(!ops)" checks for dma_map_ops by soft
checks,
     so architectures can fall back to the common code by returning NULL
     from their get_dma_ops(). Note that there are no "BUG_ON(!ops)"
checks
     in other functions in <asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h>,
   - Make "struct dma_map_ops *ops" const while we're at it.


I think that more appropriate way of handling it is to avoid dma_map_ops
based
calls (those archs probably have some reasons why they don't use it at all)
and
provide static inline stubs which call dma_common_mmap and
dma_common_get_sgtable.

OK, I'll do that.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
