Hello! This quick update on the patchset which replaces custom consistent dma regions usage in dma-mapping framework in favour of generic vmalloc areas created on demand for each allocation. The main purpose for this patchset is to remove 2MiB limit of dma coherent/writecombine allocations. In this version arch-independent VM_DMA flag has been replaced with ARM-specific VM_ARM_DMA_CONSISTENT flag. This patch is based on vanilla v3.5-rc4 release. Best regards Marek Szyprowski Samsung Poland R&D Center Changelog: v4: - replaced arch-independent VM_DMA flag with ARM-specific VM_ARM_DMA_CONSISTENT flag v3: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/80028/ - rebased onto v3.4-rc2: added support for IOMMU-aware implementation of dma-mapping calls, unified with CMA coherent dma pool - implemented changes requested by Minchan Kim: added more checks for vmarea->flags & VM_DMA, renamed some variables, removed obsole locks, squashed find_vm_area() exporting patch into the main redesign patch v2: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/78563 - added support for atomic allocations (served from preallocated pool) - minor cleanup here and there - rebased onto v3.4-rc7 v1: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/76703 - initial version Patch summary: Marek Szyprowski (2): mm: vmalloc: use const void * for caller argument ARM: dma-mapping: remove custom consistent dma region Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt | 2 +- arch/arm/include/asm/dma-mapping.h | 2 +- arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c | 505 +++++++++++++---------------------- arch/arm/mm/mm.h | 3 + include/linux/vmalloc.h | 9 +- mm/vmalloc.c | 28 ++- 6 files changed, 207 insertions(+), 342 deletions(-) -- 1.7.1.569.g6f426 -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
