Yes that's intentional, AFAICT there is no user, so there is no point creating the cache. (okay, I could find one, but it's probably broken: git grep GFP_DMA32 | grep k[a-z]*alloc drivers/media/platform/vivid/vivid-osd.c: dev->video_vbase = kzalloc(dev->video_buffer_size, GFP_KERNEL | GFP_DMA32); ). > In that > case you need to fail any request for GFP_DMA32 coming in via kmalloc. Well, we do check for these in check_slab_flags (aka GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK before patch 1/3 of this series), so, with or without this patch, calls with GFP_DMA32 will end up failing in check_slab_flags. _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
