[PATCH 1/3] dma: add dma_xalloc() and dma_xzalloc()

Fri Oct 16 00:36:53 PDT 2026


dma_alloc() and dma_zalloc() are implemented with xmemalign() and
can't fail, yet many of their callers check for NULL, while others
rely on them never returning NULL.

As a first step towards making dma_alloc() and dma_zalloc() fallible
like malloc() and calloc(), add dma_xalloc() and dma_xzalloc() as
counterparts to xmalloc() and xzalloc() for the callers that rely on
the allocation to always succeed.
