From d80e0d96a328cc864a1cb359f545a6ed0c61812d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: FUJITA Tomonori Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 18:03:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] scsi: 53c700: remove dma_is_consistent usage This driver is the only user of dma_is_consistent(). We plan to remove this API. The driver uses the API in the following way: BUG_ON(!dma_is_consistent(hostdata->dev, pScript) && L1_CACHE_BYTES < dma_get_cache_alignment()); The above code tries to see if L1_CACHE_BYTES is greater than dma_get_cache_alignment() on sysmtes that can not allocate coherent memory (some old systems can't). James Bottomley exmplained that this is necesary because the driver packs the set of mailboxes into a single coherent area and separates the different usages by a L1 cache stride. So it's fatal if the dma He also pointed out that we can kill this checking because we don't hit this BUG_ON on all architectures that actually use the driver.
