This can help to catch the case where hardware is writing after dma free.

dmapool always calls dma_alloc_coherent() with GFP_ATOMIC flag,
regardless the flags provided by the caller. This causes excessive
pruning of emergency memory pools without any good reason. Additionaly,
on ARM architecture any driver which is using dmapools will sooner or
later trigger the following error:
"ERROR: 256 KiB atomic DMA coherent pool is too small!
Please increase it with coherent_pool= kernel parameter!".
Increasing the coherent pool size usually doesn't help much and only
delays such error, because all GFP_ATOMIC DMA allocations are always
served from the special, very limited memory pool.This patch changes the dmapool code to correctly use gfp flags provided
by the dmapool caller.Reported-by: Soeren Moch

The files changed within are only using the EXPORT_SYMBOL
macro variants. They are not using core modular infrastructure
and hence don't need module.h but only the export.h header.Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

devres uses the pointer value as key after it's freed, which is safe but
triggers spurious use-after-free warnings on some static analysis tools.
Rearrange code to avoid such warnings.Signed-off-by: Maxin B. John

dma_pool_free() scans for the page to free in the pool list holding the
pool lock. Then it releases the lock basically to acquire it immediately
again. Modify the code to only take the lock once.This will do some additional loops and computations with the lock held in
if memory debugging is activated. If it is not activated the only new
operations with this lock is one if and one substraction.Signed-off-by: Rolf Eike Beer

Buggy drivers (e.g. fsl_udc) could call dma_pool_alloc from atomic
context with GFP_KERNEL. In most instances, the first pool_alloc_page
call would succeed and the sleeping functions would never be called. This
allowed the buggy drivers to slip through the cracks.Add a might_sleep_if() checking for __GFP_WAIT in flags.

The previous implementation simply refused to allocate more than a
boundary's worth of data from an entire page. Some users didn't know
this, so specified things like SMP_CACHE_BYTES, not realising the
horrible waste of memory that this was. It's fairly easy to correct
this problem, just by ensuring we don't cross a boundary within a page.
This even helps drivers like EHCI (which can't cross a 4k boundary)
on machines with larger page sizes.Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

Use a list of free blocks within a page instead of using a bitmap.
Update documentation to reflect this. As well as being a slight
reduction in memory allocation, locked ops and lines of code, it speeds
up a transaction processing benchmark by 0.4%.Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

With one trivial change (taking the lock slightly earlier on wakeup
