Subject[PATCH 11/16] scsi: mptbase: Use dma_alloc_coherent() in 'mpt_alloc_fw_memory()'
Date
In [1], Christoph Hellwig has proposed to remove the wrappers in
include/linux/pci-dma-compat.h.

Some reasons why this API should be removed have been given by Julia
Lawall in [2].


mpt_alloc_fw_memory() should still use GFP_ATOMIC, because it can be
called from mpt_do_upload() which might sleep.

Instead of using GFP_ATOMIC, we could pass the 'sleepFlag' from
mpt_do_upload() and check all other callers to pass the expected flag.
