That reminds me. I wanted to talk about getting rid of GFP_ZONE_TABLE.
Instead, we should encode the zone number in the bottom three bits of
the gfp mask, while preserving the rules that ZONE_NORMAL gets encoded
as zero (so GFP_KERNEL | GFP_HIGHMEM continues to work) and also leaving
__GFP_MOVABLE in bit 3 so that it can continue to be used as a flag.
So I was thinking ...
-#define ___GFP_DMA 0x01u
-#define ___GFP_HIGHMEM 0x02u
-#define ___GFP_DMA32 0x04u
+#define ___GFP_ZONE_MASK 0x07u
#define __GFP_DMA ((__force gfp_t)OPT_ZONE_DMA ^ ZONE_NORMAL)
#define __GFP_HIGHMEM ((__force gfp_t)OPT_ZONE_HIGHMEM ^ ZONE_NORMAL)
#define __GFP_DMA32 ((__force gfp_t)OPT_ZONE_DMA32 ^ ZONE_NORMAL)
#define __GFP_MOVABLE ((__force gfp_t)ZONE_MOVABLE ^ ZONE_NORMAL | \
___GFP_MOVABLE)
#define GFP_ZONEMASK ((__force gfp_t)___GFP_ZONE_MASK | ___GFP_MOVABLE)
Then we can delete GFP_ZONE_TABLE and GFP_ZONE_BAD.
gfp_zone simply becomes:
static inline enum zone_type gfp_zone(gfp_t flags)
{
return ((__force int)flags & ___GFP_ZONE_MASK) ^ ZONE_NORMAL;
}
Huaisheng Ye, would you have time to investigate this idea?
