Hi,

According to xHCI ch4.20 Scratchpad Buffers
	A Scratchpad Buffer is a PAGESIZE block of system memory

	Software clears the Scratchpad Buffer to ‘0’

So, we need to use dma pool for PAGESIZE boundary buffer, and zeroed
its region using dma_pool_zalloc.

you're doing two separate things here...

I know it is two things, but after the dma pool is introduced, we need a
new API to allocate memory, do you want to me use dma_pool_alloc first,
then, change it to use dma_pool_zalloc at another patch? I am ok to do
that.

the other way around. First you patch dma_alloc_coherent() to
dma_zalloc_coherent() and that could go in during the -rc and possibly
get a stable tag, since spec requires kernel to zero the memory area.

In fact, it fixes two things at spec, the other thing is the scratchpad
buffer needs to be page_size boundary. I will send these two fixes
first.


If I remember correctly dma_alloc_coherent() takes care of proper alignment
and won't cross the boundary
