This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ALSA: Enable CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for smaller PCI DMA masks to the 3.12-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: alsa-enable-config_zone_dma-for-smaller-pci-dma-masks.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.12 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 80ab8eae70e51d578ebbeb228e0f7a562471b8b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:20:42 +0100 Subject: ALSA: Enable CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for smaller PCI DMA masks From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 80ab8eae70e51d578ebbeb228e0f7a562471b8b7 upstream. The PCI devices with DMA masks smaller than 32bit should enable CONFIG_ZONE_DMA. Since the recent change of page allocator, page allocations via dma_alloc_coherent() with the limited DMA mask bits may fail more frequently, ended up with no available buffers, when CONFIG_ZONE_DMA isn't enabled. With CONFIG_ZONE_DMA, the system has much more chance to obtain such pages.
