The patch titled Subject: mm: slab: remove ZONE_DMA_FLAG has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-slab-remove-zone_dma_flag.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-slab-remove-zone_dma_flag.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-slab-remove-zone_dma_flag.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Yang Shi <yang.shi@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: slab: remove ZONE_DMA_FLAG Now we have IS_ENABLED helper to check if a Kconfig option is enabled or not, so ZONE_DMA_FLAG sounds no longer useful. And, the use of ZONE_DMA_FLAG in slab looks pointless according to the comment [1] from Johannes Weiner, so remove them and ORing passed in flags with the cache gfp flags has been done in kmem_getpages().
