[PATCH] dma-debug: Skip cacheline tracking for MMIO mappings

[Leon Romanovsky <leon@kernel.org>]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

Mapping one MMIO dma-buf for many RDMA importers overflows dma-debug's
cacheline overlap counter and triggers a warning. DMA_ATTR_MMIO mappings
must never be CPU-cacheable, so CPU cacheline overlap tracking does not
apply to them.

Skip MMIO entries in both cacheline insertion and removal. Keep them in
the DMA entry hash so mapping and unmapping checks still run.

The reported warning was:
 ------------[ cut here ]------------
DMA-API: exceeded 7 overlapping mappings of cacheline 0x000000e040000400
