Subject: DMA32 zone unusable
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2005 17:22:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <437B4EB0.3080908@kolumbus.fi> (raw)
The new DMA32 zone (which at least x86-64 has) is quite "interesting" :
#define __GFP_DMA32 ((__force gfp_t)0x04) <-----!!!!!
#define GFP_ZONEMASK 0x03 <------!!!!!
#define gfp_zone(mask) ((__force int)((mask) & (__force gfp_t)GFP_ZONEMASK))
static inline struct page *alloc_pages_node(int nid, gfp_t gfp_mask,
unsigned int order)
{
if (unlikely(order >= MAX_ORDER))
return NULL;
return __alloc_pages(gfp_mask, order,
NODE_DATA(nid)->node_zonelists + gfp_zone(gfp_mask));
}
So with GFP_DMA32 you never get those pages (but DMA instead).
