AFAICS, just like the ARM code from which it is derived, that will always return a non-cacheable remap of the allocation, which should thus not require explicit maintenance after CPU accesses. dma_cache_sync() would only matter if dma_alloc_attrs(..., DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT) got special treatment and was allowed to return a cacheable address, but PPC doesn't even propagate the attrs to its internal __dma_alloc_coherent() implementations.

It doesn't implement the DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT interface either, so if it really doesn't have a way to provide dma coherent allocation (although the code in __dma_alloc_coherent suggests it does provide dma coherent allocations) I have no idea how it could ever have worked. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sh" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

And drivers aiming at using non coherent memory do it by using kmalloc() with GFP_DMA then dma_map_single(). Then they use dma_sync_single_for_xxx(), which calls __dma_sync() on the 8xx and is a nop on other powerpcs.

powerpc does not implement DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT allocations, so it doesn't make any sense to do any work in dma_cache_sync given that it must be a no-op when dma_alloc_attrs returns coherent memory.
