In dma_common_find_pages(), area->flags are compared directly with VM_DMA_COHERENT. This works because VM_DMA_COHERENT is the only set flag. During development of a new feature (ASI [1]), a new VM flag is introduced, and that flag can be injected into VM_DMA_COHERENT mappings (among others). The presence of that flag caused dma_common_find_pages() to return NULL for VM_DMA_COHERENT addresses, leading to a lot of problems ending in crashing during boot. It took a bit of time to figure this problem out. It was a mistake to inject a VM flag to begin with, but it took a significant amount of debugging to figure out the problem. Most users of area->flags use bitmasking rather than equivalency to check for flags. Update dma_common_find_pages() and dma_common_free_remap() to do the same, which would have avoided the boot crashing. Instead, add a warning in dma_common_find_pages() if any extra VM flags are set to catch such problems more easily during development. No functional change intended.
