In-Reply-To: <20080124130348.1760.KOSAKI.MOTOHIRO@jp.fujitsu.com> References: <20080124130348.1760.KOSAKI.MOTOHIRO@jp.fujitsu.com> Message-Id: <20080124132355.1775.KOSAKI.MOTOHIRO@jp.fujitsu.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: linux-mm@kvack.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com, Marcelo Tosatti , Daniel Spang , Rik van Riel , Andrew Morton , Alan Cox List-ID: on X86, ZONE_DMA is very very small. it cause undesirable low mem notification. It should ignored. but on other some architecture, ZONE_DMA have 4GB. 4GB is large as it is not possible to ignored. therefore, ignore or not is decided by zone size.
