The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/dmapool.c: avoid duplicate memset within dma_pool_alloc has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-dmapoolc-avoid-duplicate-memset-within-dma_pool_alloc.patch This patch was dropped because it was withdrawn ------------------------------------------------------ From: Liu Song <liusong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/dmapool.c: avoid duplicate memset within dma_pool_alloc Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2022 14:28:10 +0800 From: Liu Song <liusong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> In "dma_alloc_from_dev_coherent" and "dma_direct_alloc", the allocated memory is explicitly set to 0. A helper function "use_dev_coherent_memory" is introduced here to determine whether the memory is allocated by "dma_alloc_from_dev_coherent". And use "get_dma_ops" to determine whether the memory is allocated by "dma_direct_alloc". After this modification, memory allocated using "dma_pool_zalloc" can avoid duplicate memset.
