[RFC 4/5] dma-direct: Allocate dma pages directly if global pool allocation fails

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



DMA_GLOBAL_POOL config may be enabled for platforms where global pool is
not supported because a generic defconfig is expected to boot on different
platforms. Specifically, some RISC-V platforms may use global pool for
non-coherent devices while some other platforms are completely coherent.
However, it is expected that single kernel image must boot on all the
platforms.

Continue the dma direct allocation if a allocation from global pool failed.
This indicates that the platform is relying on some other method (direct
remap) or just have coherent devices.
