So, it seems I am in a similar situation with the I2C subsystem right
now. I need to check the message buffers if they are DMA capable.

Because you have basically the same checks in 3 different places, and I
need something similar for I2C, I wondered about a generic place to put
these checks. Especially since we want future improvements to these
checks applied everywhere immediately. Here is a small diff on what I
have now:

===

dma-mapping(?): introduce helper to check for DMA capable addresses

Introduce a helper to check if an address is DMA capable. Such a check
is subtle, so it is good to have a centralized place for it.

Note: I am absolutely not sure if dma-mapping.h is a good place for such
a function. I just couldn't think of a better one for now.

Second note: I am not even sure the checks are complete (kmapped mem?).
I am not an MM expert. But that just strengthens the argument of having
on centralized place IMO.

The WIP branch containing also the I2C parts can be found here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux.git renesas/topic/i2c-core-dma

I think the whole series needs 1 or 2 days more before I send out an
RFC, but I thought I'll let you know about my idea already.

Thanks and kind regards,
