SubjectRe: [Linaro-mm-sig] [PATCH 2/4] staging: android: ion: Restrict cache maintenance to dma mapped memory
The CPU may only access DMA mapped memory if ownership has been
transferred back to the CPU using dma_sync_{single,sg}_to_cpu, and then
before the device can access it again ownership needs to be transferred
back to the device using dma_sync_{single,sg}_to_device.

Can you also test is with CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG enabled, as that should
catch all the usual mistakes in DMA API usage, including the one found?
