These are needed due to a cache bug, and can be used to make sure
that the DMA descriptors are flushed to memory and can be safely
handled by DMA.
flush_dma_descr - Flush one DMA descriptor.
flush_dma_list - Flush a complete list of DMA descriptors.

The MPOL_BIND policy creates a zonelist that is used for allocations belonging
to that thread that can use the policy_zone. As the per-node zonelist is
already being filtered based on a zone id, this patch adds a version of
__alloc_pages() that takes a nodemask for further filtering. This
Two zonelists exist so that GFP_THISNODE allocations will be guaranteed
to use memory only from a node local to the CPU. As we can now filter the
zonelist based on a nodemask, we filter the standard node zonelist for zones
on the local node when GFP_THISNODE is specified.
When GFP_THISNODE is
Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly
as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As
the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node
idx could also be stored here if it was found that accessing
This patch introduces a node_zonelist() helper function. It is used to lookup
the appropriate zonelist given a node and a GFP mask. The patch on its own is
a cleanup but it helps clarify parts of the one-zonelist-per-node patchset. If
necessary, it can be merged with the next patch in this set
Currently a node has a number of zonelists, one for each zone type in the
system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations. Based on the zones allowed
by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected. All of these zonelists
consume memory and occupy cache lines.
This patch replaces the
The allocator deals with zonelists which indicate the order in which zones
should be targeted for an allocation. Similarly, direct reclaim of pages
iterates over an array of zones. For consistency, this patch converts direct
reclaim to use a zonelist. No functionality is changed by this patch.
This is basically a rebase to the broken-out -mm tree. Since v8, two fixes
