Some CPU, such as Xeon, can guarantee DMA cache coherency. So it is no need to use dma sync APIs to flush cache on such CPUs. In order to avoid calling dma sync APIs on the IO path, use the dma_need_sync to check whether smc_buf_desc needs dma sync when creating smc_buf_desc.

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.
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.
