From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> we have a system complainging about order-5 allocation for the DMA pool. This is something that a674e48c5443 ("dma/pool: create dma atomic pool only if dma zone has managed pages") has already tried to achieve but I do not think it went all the way to have it covered completely. In this particular case has_managed_dma() will not work because: [ 0.678539][ T0] Initmem setup node 0 [mem 0x0000000000001000-0x000000027dffffff] [ 0.686316][ T0] On node 0, zone DMA: 1 pages in unavailable ranges [ 0.687093][ T0] On node 0, zone DMA32: 36704 pages in unavailable ranges [ 0.694278][ T0] On node 0, zone Normal: 53252 pages in unavailable ranges [ 0.701257][ T0] On node 0, zone Normal: 8192 pages in unavailable ranges The allocation failure on the DMA zone shouldn't be really critical for the system operation so just silence the warning instead.
