From: Jeremy Linton <jeremy.linton@xxxxxxx> commit 2bef9aed6f0e22391c8d4570749b1acc9bc3981e upstream. On some architectures (e.g. arm64) requests for IO coherent memory may use non-cachable attributes if the relevant device isn't cache coherent. If these pages are then remapped into userspace as cacheable, they may not be coherent with the non-cacheable mappings. In particular this happens with libusb, when it attempts to create zero-copy buffers for use by rtl-sdr (https://github.com/osmocom/rtl-sdr/). On low end arm devices with non-coherent USB ports, the application will be unexpectedly killed, while continuing to work fine on arm machines with coherent USB controllers. This bug has been discovered/reported a few times over the last few years. In the case of rtl-sdr a compile time option to enable/disable zero copy was implemented to work around it. Rather than relaying on application specific workarounds, dma_mmap_coherent() can be used instead of remap_pfn_range(). The page cache/etc attributes will then be correctly set in userspace to match the kernel mapping.
