I think it is better to check for this in a seperate function and use
err_printk instead of dev_warn in the end to print the errors.
The new function can then be called in the dma_debug_device_change
callback like device_dma_allocations is.


I did explore separate function option and backed off from it since
the new routine will have to duplicate what device_dma_allocations()
does except that it checks for entry->map_err_type.

I still have the patch that does that saved away. If you still
prefer that approach, I can rework the patch and send it.

You can get rid of the code duplication by defining for_each macros for
the list traversals. So I would still prefer to have this check in a
seperate function.

Joerg,

This patch and a follow-on cocinelli warning fix patch are in linux-next. Would you like me to send a patch relative to the change in linux-next or cut a new patch against the latest Linus's git. I can go either way. We just have to remember to drop those two patches from linux-next.
