Question regarding Virtio Console and Remoteproc
...access kernel memory (no IOMMU and limited address range). Instead
we have a designated shared memory region used for IPC.
Due to this I cannot use kmalloc() for buffer allocation, but I
have to allocate buffers from the memory region shared with the
modem.
In remoteproc this is solved by using dma_alloc_coherent() for all
memory to be shared with the modem. This works fine for me, because
I can pass the IPC memory region to dma_declare_coherent_memory()
so dma_alloc_coherent() will allocate from this memory region.

[PATCH 0/2] Virtio ring works with DMA coherent memory
RPMsg uses dma_alloc_coherent() to allocate memory to shared with the remote.
In this case, as there is no pages setup in the dma_alloc_coherent(),
we cannot get the physical address back from the virtual address, and thus,
we can set the sg_dma_addr to store the DMA address and mark it already DMA
mapped.

[PATCH] drm/gk20a/fb: use dma_alloc_coherent() for VRAM
GK20A's RAM driver was using CMA functions in order to allocate VRAM.
This is wrong because these functions are not exported, which causes
compilation to fail when CMA is enabled and Nouveau is built as a
module. On top of that the driver was leaking (or rather bleeding)
memory.
dma_alloc_coherent() will also use CMA when needed but has the
advantage of being properly exported. It creates a permanent kernel
mapping, but experiment revealed that the lowmem mapping is actually
reused, and this mapping can also be taken advantage of to implement
faster instmem. We lose the ability to allocate m...

This needs GFP_DMA.
You use a genpool for ccw_private->dma and not for iopriv->dma - looks
kinda inconsistent.

dma_alloc_coherent issue with tg3 in x86_64 build
During boot of dom0, I get the following. Box is remote, so I''m
now waiting for proxy power button pusher ;-) tg3 init fails doing
dma_alloc_coherent (I assume this is from tg3_init_one -> tg3_test_dma ->
pci_alloc_consistent -> dma_alloc_coherent). Looks like an issue with
the amount of memory in dom0. Is this known?
thanks,
