This series refactors the DMA mapping to use physical addresses
as the primary interface instead of page+offset parameters. This
change aligns the DMA API with the underlying hardware reality where
DMA operations work with physical addresses, not page structures.
The series consists of 8 patches that progressively convert the DMA
mapping infrastructure from page-based to physical address-based APIs:
The series maintains backward compatibility by keeping the old
page-based API as wrapper functions around the new physical
address-based implementations.
Thanks
Leon Romanovsky (8):
dma-debug: refactor to use physical addresses for page mapping
dma-mapping: rename trace_dma_*map_page to trace_dma_*map_phys
iommu/dma: rename iommu_dma_*map_page to iommu_dma_*map_phys
dma-mapping: convert dma_direct_*map_page to be phys_addr_t based
kmsan: convert kmsan_handle_dma to use physical addresses
dma-mapping: fail early if physical address is mapped through platform
callback
dma-mapping: export new dma_*map_phys() interface
mm/hmm: migrate to physical address-based DMA mapping API
