Hi,

This patch changes dma-mapping subsystem to use generic vmalloc areas for all consistent dma allocations. This increases the total size limit of the consistent allocations and removes platform hacks and a lot of duplicated code.
Atomic allocations are served from special pool preallocated on boot, because vmalloc areas cannot be reliably created in atomic context.

This patch replaced the custom "consistent_pte" with get_vm_area_caller()", which breaks the compatibility with the existing driver. This causes the following kernel oops(*1). That driver has called dma_pool_alloc() to allocate memory from the interrupt context, and it hits BUG_ON(in_interrpt()) in "get_vm_area_caller()"(*2). Regardless of the badness of allocation from interrupt handler in the driver, I have the following question.
The following "__get_vm_area_node()" can take gfp_mask, it means that this function is expected to be called from atomic context, but why it's _NOT_ allowed _ONLY_ from interrupt context?
According to the following definitions, "in_interrupt()" is in "in_atomic()".
#define in_interrupt() (preempt_count() & (HARDIRQ_MASK | SOFTIRQ_MASK | NMI_MASK)) #define in_atomic() ((preempt_count() & ~PREEMPT_ACTIVE) != 0)
Does anyone know why BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) is set in __get_vm_area_node(*3)?
