Hello!
The DMA pool allocator allocates a memory using dma_alloc_coherent(),
creates a pool using generic allocator in the initialization.
For every allocation requests, the allocator returns a part of its
memory pool using generic allocator instead of new memory allocation.
This allocator used for devices have below limitations.
- the start address should be aligned
- the range of memory access limited to the offset from the start
address (= the allocation address should be existed in a
constant offset from the start address)
- the allocation address should be aligned
I would be grateful for your comments.
