Merge tag 'remove-dma_zalloc_coherent-5.0' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping
Pull dma_zalloc_coherent() removal from Christoph Hellwig:
"We've always had a weird situation around dma_zalloc_coherent. To
safely support mapping the allocations to userspace major
architectures like x86 and arm have always zeroed allocations from
dma_alloc_coherent, but a couple other architectures were missing that
zeroing either always or in corner cases.
Then later we grew anothe dma_zalloc_coherent interface to explicitly
request zeroing, but that just added __GFP_ZERO to the allocation
flags, which for some allocators that didn't end up using the page
allocator ended up being a no-op and still not zeroing the
allocations.
So for this merge window I fixed up all remaining architectures to
zero the memory in dma_alloc_coherent, and made dma_zalloc_coherent a
no-op wrapper around dma_alloc_coherent, which fixes all of the above
issues.
dma_zalloc_coherent is now pointless and can go away, and Luis helped
me writing a cocchinelle script and patch series to kill it, which I
think we should apply now just after -rc1 to finally settle these
issue"
