The patch titled Use unchecked_isa_dma in sd_revalidate_disk() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is use-unchecked_isa_dma-in-sd_revalidate_disk.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Use unchecked_isa_dma in sd_revalidate_disk() From: Bernhard Walle <bwalle@xxxxxxx> In sd_revalidate_disk(), the SCSI Disk driver needs a few bytes DMA memory, allocated by kmalloc() and __GFP_DMA. This patch uses __GFP_DMA only if the corresponding host structure has unchecked_isa_dma set.
