[PATCHv2 01/14] common: dma-mapping: introduce alloc_attrs and free_attrs methods

From: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com>
Date: 2012-03-27 13:43:26
Also in: linux-alpha, linux-arch, linux-arm-kernel, linux-mips, linux-mm
Subsystem: dma mapping helpers, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Szyprowski, Linus Torvalds

Introduce new generic alloc and free methods with attributes argument.

Existing alloc_coherent and free_coherent can be implemented on top of the
new calls with NULL attributes argument. Later also dma_alloc_non_coherent
can be implemented using DMA_ATTR_NONCOHERENT attribute as well as
dma_alloc_writecombine with separate DMA_ATTR_WRITECOMBINE attribute.

This way the drivers will get more generic, platform independent way of
allocating dma buffers with specific parameters.
