Before commit 57bf5a8963f8 ("dma-mapping: clear harmful GFP_* flags in
common code") tweaking the client code supplied GFP_* flags used to be
an issue handled in the architecture specific code. The commit message
suggests, that fixing the client code would actually be a better way
of dealing with this.
On s390 common I/O devices are generally capable of using the full 64
bit address space for DMA I/O, but some chunks of the DMA memory need to
be 31 bit addressable (in physical address space) because the
instructions involved mandate it. Before switching to DMA API this used
to be a non-issue, we used to allocate those chunks from ZONE_DMA.
Currently our only option with the DMA API is to restrict the devices to
(via dma_mask and dma_mask_coherent) to 31 bit, which is sub-optimal.
Thus s390 we would benefit form having control over what flags are
dropped.
