Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] Two small dma-coherent bug fixes
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2016 10:39:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1473932399-23224-1-git-send-email-Mark_Craske@mentor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Mark Craske <Mark_Craske@mentor.com>

This patchset contains the following commits:

Bastian Hecht (1):
  drivers: dma-coherent: Move spinlock in dma_alloc_from_coherent()

George G. Davis (1):
  drivers: dma-coherent: Fix DMA coherent size for less than page

 drivers/base/dma-coherent.c |    8 +++++---
 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)

Background information
----------------------
These 2 commits were originally developed and validated on an ARM i.MX6 based
commercial project running a highly modified 3.14 Linux kernel.
The commits were needed to amend dma_mmap_from_coherent() to deal correctly
with mappings of less than one page, and to improve latency on SMP systems
where large DMA buffers are used.

The commits have been forward-ported to driver-core-next master branch HEAD
(c693593 Linux 4.8-rc5)

Commit details
--------------
This patchset fixes a couple of problems with dma-coherent seen
on a commercial i.MX6 based system.

Note: Testing has only been done on an ARM i.MX6 based platform.
