Thank you. I fear that won't be enough though.

The subject mentions arch_teardown_dma_ops(), which I think is correct, but
the patch adds the set_dma_ops() call to arm_teardown_iommu_dma_ops().
However, the situation is perhaps more complex. Note the check at the
beginning of arch_setup_dma_ops():
/*
* Don't override the dma_ops if they have already been set. Ideally
* this should be the only location where dma_ops are set, remove this
* check when all other callers of set_dma_ops will have disappeared.
*/
if (dev->dma_ops)
return;
If you set the dma_ops to NULL in arm_teardown_iommu_dma_ops() or
arch_teardown_dma_ops(), the next call to arch_setup_dma_ops() will override
them. To be safe you should only set them to NULL if they have been set by
arch_setup_dma_ops(). More than that, arch_teardown_dma_ops() should probably
not call arm_teardown_iommu_dma_ops() at all if the dma_ops were set by
arm_iommu_attach_device() and not arch_teardown_dma_ops(). One option would be
to add a field to struct dev_archdata to store that information. To avoid
growing the structure, which is embedded in every struct device, you could
possibly turn the dma_coherent bool into a bitfield.
@@ -19,7 +19,8 @@ struct dev_archdata {
#ifdef CONFIG_XEN
const struct dma_map_ops *dev_dma_ops;
#endif
- bool dma_coherent;
+ bool dma_coherent:1;
+ bool dma_ops_setup:1;
};
struct omap_device;
I haven't checked, however, whether the dma_coherent field would need to be
accessed atomically, so this might be a bad idea.
Last but not least, a fix must be merged in v4.12, and the sooner the better.
