Thank you for reviewing my patches.

Sure. I'll send the series again later.

Instead of making use of DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING, I use the
following "__in_atomic_pool()" to see if buffer comes from atomic or
not at freeing.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ARM: dma-mapping: Refactor out to introduce
 __in_atomic_pool

Check the given range("start", "size") is included in "atomic_pool" or not.
