![]() The only functional differences (modulo a few missing fixes in the arch code) is that architectures without coherent caches need a hook to convert a virtual or dma address into a pfn, given that we don't have the kernel linear mapping available for the otherwise easy virt_to_page call. As a side effect we can support mmap of the per-device coherent area even on architectures not providing the callback, and we make previous dangerous default methods dma_common_mmap actually save for non-coherent architectures by rejecting it without the right helper. In addition to that we need a hook so that some architectures can override the protection bits when mmaping a dma coherent allocations.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
