dma-contiguous: add dma_{alloc,free}_contiguous() helpers
Both dma_alloc_from_contiguous() and dma_release_from_contiguous() are very simply implemented, but requiring callers to pass certain parameters like count and align, and taking a boolean parameter to check __GFP_NOWARN in the allocation flags. So every function call duplicates similar work: unsigned long order = get_order(size); size_t count = size >> PAGE_SHIFT; page = dma_alloc_from_contiguous(dev, count, order, gfp & __GFP_NOWARN); [...] dma_release_from_contiguous(dev, page, size >> PAGE_SHIFT); Additionally, as CMA can be used only in the context which permits sleeping, most of callers do a gfpflags_allow_blocking() check and a corresponding fallback allocation of normal pages upon any false result: if (gfpflags_allow_blocking(flag)) page = dma_alloc_from_contiguous(); if (!page) page = alloc_pages(); [...] if (!dma_release_from_contiguous(dev, page, count)) __free_pages(page, get_order(size)); So this patch simplifies those function calls by abstracting these operations into the two new functions: dma_{alloc,free}_contiguous. As some callers of dma_{alloc,release}_from_contiguous() might be complicated, this patch just implements these two new functions to kernel/dma/direct.c only as an initial step.
