5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3ad796cbc36a7bc8bfd4de191d791b9490bc112b ] The DMA-coherent SG-buffer is tricky to use, as it does need the mapping. It used to work stably on x86 over years (and that's why we had enabled SG-buffer on solely x86) with the default mmap handler and vmap(), but our luck seems no forever success. The chance of breakage is high when the special DMA handling is introduced in the arch side. In this patch, we change the buffer allocation to use the SG-buffer only when the device in question is with the direct DMA. It's a bit hackish, but it's currently the only condition that may work (more or less) reliably with the default mmap and vmap() for mapping the pages that are deduced via virt_to_page(). In theory, we can apply the similar hack in the sound/core memory allocation helper, too; but it's used by SOF for allocating SG pages without re-mapping via vmap() or mmap, and it's fine to use it in that way, so let's keep it and adds the workaround in PCM side.
