Subject: [PATCH 1/3] dma/pool: Improve pool lookup
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 15:46:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c846b1a2f43295cac926c7af2ce907f62baec518.1768230104.git.robin.murphy@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1768230104.git.robin.murphy@arm.com>
If CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 is enabled, but we have not allocated the
corresponding atomic_pool_dma32, dma_guess_pool() may return the NULL
value of that and fail a GFP_DMA32 allocation without trying to fall
back to other pools which may exist. Furthermore, if no GFP_DMA pool
exists, it is preferable to try GFP_DMA32 rather than immediately fall
back to GFP_KERNEL with even less chance of success. Improve matters
by encoding an explicit order of pool preference for each flag.
