I only need to look at the commit for 3 seconds to tell you that it is completely buggy. While using dma_mmap_coherent is fundamentally the right thing and absolutely required for dma_alloc_* allocations, USB also uses it's own local gen pool allocator or plain kmalloc for not DMA capable controller. This need to use remap_pfn_range. I'm pretty sure you hit one of those cases. The logic should be something like: if (hcd->localmem_pool || !hcd_uses_dma(hcd)) remap_pfn_range() else dma_mmap_coherent()
