[PATCH 04/12] x86: make dma_cache_sync a no-op

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Sun Aug 27 2017 - 12:13:45 EST


x86 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.
