I did cscope searches two different ways on linux-next July 12th git

map_page - in this case I looked at all of the dma_ops.map_page() calls
to see if they are followed by dma_mapping_error() calls. Found the
following cases that don't check map_page() return value.

arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/iommu.c - dma_fixed_map_page()
drivers/net/ethernet/sun/niu.c - niu_rbr_add_page()
net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_sendto.c - dma_map_xdr()

dma_map - in this case again I looked for calls to dma_map(). Found the
following cases where return isn't checked:

drivers/atm/fore200e.c
drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/di.c

I am somewhat surprised to find only a few cases. Hoping I covered all
the bases, can you think of anything else I should look for before
concluding these are the cases that need fixing?
