[PATCH v7 04/22] dma: free atomic pool pages by physical address

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V (Arm)" <aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>

Subsystem: dma mapping helpers, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Szyprowski, Linus Torvalds

dma_direct_alloc_pages() may satisfy atomic allocations from the coherent
atomic pools. The pool allocation is keyed by the virtual address stored in
the gen_pool, but the pages API returns only the backing struct page.

On architectures with CONFIG_DMA_DIRECT_REMAP, atomic pool chunks are added
to the gen_pool using their remapped virtual address.
dma_direct_free_pages() reconstructs a linear-map address with
page_address(page) and passes that to dma_free_from_pool(). That address
does not match the gen_pool virtual range, so the pool lookup can fail and
the code can fall through to freeing a pool-owned page through the normal
page allocator path.

Add a page-based pool free helper that looks up the owning pool chunk by
physical address, translates it back to the gen_pool virtual address, and
frees that address to the pool. Use it from dma_direct_free_pages() while
keeping the existing virtual-address helper for coherent allocation frees.
