From 0abdd7a81b7e3fd781d7fabcca49501852bba17e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2014 15:48:12 -0800 Subject: dma-debug: introduce debug_dma_assert_idle() Record actively mapped pages and provide an api for asserting a given page is dma inactive before execution proceeds. Placing debug_dma_assert_idle() in cow_user_page() flagged the violation of the dma-api in the NET_DMA implementation (see commit 77873803363c "net_dma: mark broken"). The implementation includes the capability to count, in a limited way, repeat mappings of the same page that occur without an intervening unmap. This 'overlap' counter is limited to the few bits of tag space in a radix tree. This mechanism is added to mitigate false negative cases where, for example, a page is dma mapped twice and debug_dma_assert_idle() is called after the page is un-mapped once.
