[PATCH] staging: ion: ion_cma_heap: Don't directly use dma_common_get_sgtable

[Jon Medhurst (Tixy)]

Use dma_get_sgtable rather than dma_common_get_sgtable so a device's
dma_ops aren't bypassed. This is essential in situations where a device
uses an IOMMU and the physical memory is not contiguous (as the common
function assumes).

This also begs the question as to what happens if the memory region _is_
contiguous but is in highmem or an ioremapped region. Should a device
always provide dma_ops for that case? Because I believe the current
implementation of dma_common_get_sgtable won't work for those as it uses
virt_to_page.

I see that this point has been raised before [1] by Zeng Tao, and I
myself have been given a different fix to apply to a Linaro kernel tree.
However, both solutions looked wrong to me as they treat a dma_addr_t as
a physical address, so should at least be using dma_to_phys.

So, should we fix dma_common_get_sgtable or mandate that the device
has dma_ops? The latter seems to be implied by the commit message which
introduced the function:

        This patch provides a generic implementation based on
        virt_to_page() call. Architectures which require more
        sophisticated translation might provide their own get_sgtable()
        methods.

Note, I don't have a system where any of this code is used to test
things, and have never looked at this area before yesterday, so I may
have misunderstood what’s going on in the code.
