Hi all,

Julien Grall (CC'ed) discovered that the following commit breaks Xen on ARM:


  commit 815dd18788fe0d41899f51b91d0560279cf16b0d
  Author: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanass...@sandisk.com>
  Date:   Fri Jan 20 13:04:04 2017 -0800
  
      treewide: Consolidate get_dma_ops() implementations
   

The relevant changes are:

I think the reason is that, as you can see, if (dev && dev->dma_ops),
dev->dma_ops is returned, while before this changes, xen_dma_ops was
returned on Xen on ARM.

Unfortunately DMA cannot work properly without using the appropriate
xen_dma_ops. See drivers/xen/swiotlb-xen.c and arch/arm/xen/mm.c for
more details. (The problem is easy to spot, but I wasn't CC'ed on the
patch.)

I don't know how to solve this problem without introducing some sort of
if (xen()) in include/linux/dma-mapping.h.
