Merge tag 'dma-mapping-4.13' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping
Pull dma-mapping infrastructure from Christoph Hellwig: "This is the first pull request for the new dma-mapping subsystem In this new subsystem we'll try to properly maintain all the generic code related to dma-mapping, and will further consolidate arch code into common helpers. This pull request contains: - removal of the DMA_ERROR_CODE macro, replacing it with calls to ->mapping_error so that the dma_map_ops instances are more self contained and can be shared across architectures (me) - removal of the ->set_dma_mask method, which duplicates the ->dma_capable one in terms of functionality, but requires more duplicate code. - various updates for the coherent dma pool and related arm code (Vladimir) - various smaller cleanups (me)" * tag 'dma-mapping-4.13' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping: (56 commits) ARM: dma-mapping: Remove traces of NOMMU code ARM: NOMMU: Set ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE for M-class cpus ARM: NOMMU: Introduce dma operations for noMMU drivers: dma-mapping: allow dma_common_mmap() for NOMMU drivers: dma-coherent: Introduce default DMA pool drivers: dma-coherent: Account dma_pfn_offset when used with device tree dma: Take into account dma_pfn_offset dma-mapping: replace dmam_alloc_noncoherent with dmam_alloc_attrs dma-mapping: remove dmam_free_noncoherent crypto: qat - avoid an uninitialized variable warning au1100fb: remove a bogus dma_free_nonconsistent call MAINTAINERS: add entry for dma mapping helpers powerpc: merge __dma_set_mask into dma_set_mask dma-mapping: remove the set_dma_mask method powerpc/cell: use the dma_supported method for ops switching powerpc/cell: clean up fixed mapping dma_ops initialization tile: remove dma_supported and mapping_error methods xen-swiotlb: remove xen_swiotlb_set_dma_mask arm: implement ->dma_supported instead of ->set_dma_mask mips/loongson64: implement ->dma_supported instead of ->set_dma_mask ...

You should call dma_mapping_error() as dma_map_single() could fail and return
-error. Not all DMA implementations support the dma_mapping_error() interface.
-However, it is a good practice to call dma_mapping_error() interface, which
-will invoke the generic mapping error check interface. Doing so will ensure

You should call dma_unmap_single() when the DMA activity is finished, e.g.,
from the interrupt which told you that the DMA transfer is done.
