There are some requirement for atomic allocation from DMA mapping API, but it's not normla for IOMMU, especiall not for iommu_domain_alloc(). It has already used GFP_KERNEL and then, calls ->iommu_domain_init() in it. The update patch v2 follows. _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
