Hi, The commit e9da6e9 "ARM: dma-mapping: remove custom consistent dma region" breaks the compatibility with existing drivers. This causes the following kernel oops(*1). That driver has called dma_pool_alloc() to allocate memory from the interrupt context, and it hits BUG_ON(in_interrpt()) in "get_vm_area_caller()". This patch seris fixes this problem with making use of the pre-allocate atomic memory pool which DMA is using in the same way as DMA does now. Any comment would be really appreciated. v2: Don't modify attrs(DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING) for atomic allocation.
