![]() We've always had a weird situation around dma_zalloc_coherent. To safely support mapping the allocations to userspace major architectures like x86 and arm have always zeroed allocations from dma_alloc_coherent, but a couple other architectures were missing that zeroing either always or in corner cases. Then later we grew anothe dma_zalloc_coherent interface to explicitly request zeroing, but that just added __GFP_ZERO to the allocation flags, which for some allocators that didn't end up using the page allocator ended up being a no-op and still not zeroing the allocations. So for this merge window I fixed up all remaining architectures to zero the memory in dma_alloc_coherent, and made dma_zalloc_coherent a no-op wrapper around dma_alloc_coherent, which fixes all of the above issues. dma_zalloc_coherent is now pointless and can go away, and Luis helped me writing a cocchinelle script and patch series to kill it, which I think we should apply now just after -rc1 to finally settle these issue. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQI/BAABCgApFiEEgdbnc3r/njty3Iq9D55TZVIEUYMFAlw6LV0LHGhjaEBsc3Qu ZGUACgkQD55TZVIEUYPd1hAAshbVLVIUg750CQoKD5sk44/IW7klkQUnzcp9ueOY /GIYS/ils8q9DSITAyMJxHKpjt1EEVlavWLvYLlfpkDfLaVGMUJu+zKGaolhU5F6 OuldJKZV6tWrC7zGVl+09y5CAyelVxLyuD09I+QYnHUIO9ljgZHB2+W3ezOFxBRD FjrQRuFY6Xpr1F42zWc4aJrgACffH761pLx3fbJlIs8aEInWKqDbuyL6Lg71BRXh kHKt0DQxFxklyQmqaYyDesujjXUysweAFLNxgN9GSrlWBR8GE3qJpsSrIzjX5k8w WKzbypYqVQepI3zYCN5EoCAoiHBFZXPSNHCoXAH6tHjYwgQ3uoDpzxEKJOEykO4i 1+kcJh3ArQZA/BsMBf3I/CNMsxvBuC3/QKFMcs/7pKx1ABoumSBSIpqB4pG4NU+o fxRBHKjqbILufWKReb2PuRXiPpddwuo0vg70U0FK2aWZrClRYEpBdExPKrBUAG34 WtQCGA0YFXV/kAgPPmOvnPlwpYM2ZrVLVl5Ct2diR5QaLee3o1GiStQm0LuspRzk HSzVyCYdKRxH4zkEBzKUn/PuyYLoMRyPP4PQ3R/xlQrFqvv6FeiGYnow89+1JpUp 2qWg5vU1aLM7/WXnyVGDED3T42eZREi/uMPQIADXqRIVC7e43/eKcLF06n0lIWh9 usg= =VIBB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'remove-dma_zalloc_coherent-5.0' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping Pull dma_zalloc_coherent() removal from Christoph Hellwig: "We've always had a weird situation around dma_zalloc_coherent.
