[PATCH] dma-direct: fix DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING

From: Walter Wu
Date: Sun Oct 31 2021 - 23:16:10 EST


DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING is to avoid creating a kernel mapping
for the allocated buffer, but current implementation is that
PTE of allocated buffer in kernel page table is valid. So we
should set invalid for PTE of allocate buffer so that there are
no kernel mapping for the allocated buffer.

In some cases, we don't hope the allocated buffer to be read
by cpu or speculative execution, so we use DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING
to get no kernel mapping in order to achieve this goal.
