It seems that the code is asking "can I do a potentially-sleeping memory allocation"? The way to do that under the new regime is if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DMA_CMA) && gfpflags_allow_blocking(gfp)) Mel, can you please confirm? -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
