Suppose that a system want to use default ARM implementation of dma_alloc_*() while it uses its own implementations of dma_map_*(). With your suggestion, we have only one option: void *my_alloc(...) { return dma_alloc_coherent(NULL, ...); } struct dma_map_ops ops = { .alloc_coherent = &my_alloc, ... }; I think the following method is simpler: struct dma_map_ops ops = { .alloc_coherent = NULL, ... }; -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
