This is the whole point - there are platforms where you can't allocate 32-bit dma-able memory. Unless there's IOMMU or some platform specific tricks, DMA address is same as physical address. In my example, platform has DRAM installed at address 32Gbytes. 32-bit devices would not work on such platform, and attempt to allocate ZONE_DMA32 memory fails and kernel prints warning as in my original post >ZONE_DMA32 is supposed to contain the 32-bit dma addressable memory, >not 32-bit physical. >Take a look at the changes that just went into Linus' tree for that. I re-evaluated with Linus's tree as of now (commit 88264981f208), same error reported if I don't apply my patch: [ 0.191514] DMA: preallocated 512 KiB GFP_KERNEL pool for atomic allocations [ 0.191524] swapper/0: page allocation failure: order:7, mode:0xcc4(GFP_KERNEL|GFP_DMA32), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mem s_allowed=0 [ 0.191546] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.11.0 #2 [ 0.191553] Hardware name: ????
