Hello. This patch set fixes DMA API usage issues in gianfar ethernet driver reported by the kernel w/ DMA API debug enabled.
There were even reports that the kernel sometimes oopsed in the past because of kernel paging request handling failures, though it was likely observed on some ancient versions. And while I personally doesn't have any strong evidence of this, there's no reason to let these possible failures live any longer.
