From 129134e5415d46f38b9978b3809af94ed649b57d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergey Senozhatsky Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2020 05:07:58 +0200 Subject: media: media/v4l2: remove V4L2_FLAG_MEMORY_NON_CONSISTENT flag The patch partially reverts some of the UAPI bits of the buffer cache management hints. Namely, the queue consistency (memory coherency) user-space hint because, as it turned out, the kernel implementation of this feature was misusing DMA_ATTR_NON_CONSISTENT. The patch reverts both kernel and user space parts: removes the DMA consistency attr functions, rolls back changes to v4l2_requestbuffers, v4l2_create_buffers structures and corresponding UAPI functions (plus compat32 layer) and cleans up the documentation.
