Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

Currently, USB-audio driver allocates the PCM buffer via vmalloc(), as this serves merely as an intermediate buffer that is copied to each URB transfer buffer. This works well in general on x86, but on some archs this may result in cache coherency issues when mmap is used. OTOH, it works also on such arch unless mmap is used. This patch is a step for mitigating the inconvenience; a new module option "use_vmalloc" is provided so that user can choose to allocate the DMA coherent buffer instead of the existing vmalloc buffer. The drawback is that it'd be the standard dma_alloc_coherent() calls and the system would require contiguous pages on non-x86 archs. Note that it's a global option and not dynamically switchable since the buffer is pre-allocated at the probe time. In theory, it's possible to be switchable, but it'd be trickier and racier. As default use_vmalloc option is set to true, so that the old behavior is kept. For allowing the coherent mmap on ARM or MIPS, pass use_vmalloc=0 option explicitly.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
