[PATCH] mm: slab: remove ZONE_DMA_FLAG

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

 



Now we have IS_ENABLED helper to check if a Kconfig option is enabled or not,
so ZONE_DMA_FLAG sounds no longer useful.

And, the use of ZONE_DMA_FLAG in slab looks pointless according to the
comment [1] from Johannes Weiner, so remove them and ORing passed in flags with
the cache gfp flags has been done in kmem_getpages().

Found the problem when I was reading the slab code for investigating another
issue, and found a similar fix has been sent to review in 2014, but it didn't
get merged into upstream. Rework the patch to adopt the comment from
Johannes Weiner.
