Re: [PATCH] dma-debug: enhance dma_debug_device_change() to checkfor mapping errors

[Alexander Duyck]

I think this might be overdoing the error checking by a bit.  I would
much rather have the DMA leaked error be visible than have it buried
under messages about the failure to check for DMA errors.  In my mind
the DMA buffer leak is much more serious than the failure to check for
mapping errors.

Thanks,

Alex
