The patch titled

     Cleanup gfp.h: remove __GFP_DMA32 ifdef

has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename is

     reduce-max_nr_zones-make-zone_highmem-optional-fix-fix.patch

This patch was dropped because it was folded into reduce-max_nr_zones-make-zone_highmem-optional.patch

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Cleanup gfp.h: remove __GFP_DMA32 ifdef
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>

The __GFP_xx definitions in include/linux/gfp.h are used to refer to
individual bits in the GFP bitmasks.  I think they should not be
conditional via ifdef.  If a conditional definition is required then a
version without the underscore should be used.

My patch from yesterday cleared up the definitions that resulted in zero
values.  This one removes the #ifdef around __GFP_DMA32.

The x86_64 arch code is the only user of __GFP_DMA32 and x86_64 sets
CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32.  No driver is using DMA32.  So we do not really need
fall back behavior for ZONE_DMA32 at this point.

If ZONE_DMA32 would be used by a device driver in the future on a platform
that has not set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 then we will fall back to ZONE_NORMAL
because the __GFP_DMA32 bit is not set in GFP_ZONEMASK.  I think if
different behavior is desired then the device driver would have to take
care of falling back to a different allocation.  The absence of DMA32 slab
support may already force the device driver to deal with this case anyways.

Another solution would be to make the definition of GFP_DMA32 conditional
on CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 and 32/64 bit.  That would leave the __GFP_xx
untouched.
