Hi, The fifth version of this patchset was merged by Andrew Morton few days ago. It was rebased on v4.7-rc5 so it missed some ongoing changes. This is just rebase on next-20160713. For easier testing the patchset is available here: repo: https://github.com/krzk/linux branch: for-next/dma-attrs-const-v6 Changes since v5 ================ 1. New patches: 1/46: [media] mtk-vcodec: Remove unused dma_attrs 44/46: remoteproc: qcom: Use unsigned long for dma_attrs 2. 19/46: rebased on next, some more changes inside 3. Added accumulated acks: Marek Szyprowski, Richard Kuo, Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, Daniel Vetter and Joerg Roedel. Changes since v4 ================ 1. Collect some acks. Still need more. 2. Minor fixes pointed by Robin Murphy. 3. Applied changes from Bart Van Assche's comment. 4. More tests and builds (using https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/). Changes since v3 ================ 1. Collect some acks. 2. Drop wrong patch 1/45 ("powerpc: dma-mapping: Don't hard-code the value of DMA_ATTR_WEAK_ORDERING"). 3. Minor fix pointed out by Michael Ellerman. Changes since v2 ================ 1. Follow Christoph Hellwig's comments (don't use BIT add documentation, remove dma_get_attr). Rationale ========= The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA attributes passed by pointer. Thus the pointer can point to const data. However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield. Instead unsigned long will do fine: 1. This is just simpler. Both in terms of reading the code and setting attributes. Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits. 2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the attributes are passed by value.
