dma debug: account for cachelines and read-only mappings in overlap tracking
While debug_dma_assert_idle() checks if a given *page* is actively
undergoing dma the valid granularity of a dma mapping is a *cacheline*.
Sander's testing shows that the warning message "DMA-API: exceeded 7
overlapping mappings of pfn..." is falsely triggering. The test is
simply mapping multiple cachelines in a given page.
Ultimately we want overlap tracking to be valid as it is a real api
violation, so we need to track active mappings by cachelines. Update
the active dma tracking to use the page-frame-relative cacheline of the
mapping as the key, and update debug_dma_assert_idle() to check for all
possible mapped cachelines for a given page.
However, the need to track active mappings is only relevant when the
dma-mapping is writable by the device. In fact it is fairly standard
for read-only mappings to have hundreds or thousands of overlapping
mappings at once. Limiting the overlap tracking to writable
(!DMA_TO_DEVICE) eliminates this class of false-positive overlap
reports.
Note, the radix gang lookup is sub-optimal. It would be best if it
stopped fetching entries once the search passed a page boundary.
Nevertheless, this implementation does not perturb the original net_dma
failing case. That is to say the extra overhead does not show up in
terms of making the failing case pass due to a timing change.
