[PATCH 4.12 21/41] mm/vmalloc.c: dont unconditonally use __GFP_HIGHMEM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Laura Abbott <labbott@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 704b862f9efd6d4c87a8d0a344dda19bda9c6b69 upstream.

Commit 19809c2da28a ("mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly") added
use of __GFP_HIGHMEM for allocations.  vmalloc_32 may use
GFP_DMA/GFP_DMA32 which does not play nice with __GFP_HIGHMEM and will
trigger a BUG in gfp_zone.

Only add __GFP_HIGHMEM if we aren't using GFP_DMA/GFP_DMA32.
