Subject[PATCH] mm: dmapool: use provided gfp flags for all dma_alloc_coherent() calls
Date
dmapool always calls dma_alloc_coherent() with GFP_ATOMIC flag, regardless
the flags provided by the caller. This causes excessive pruning of
emergency memory pools without any good reason. This patch changes the code
to correctly use gfp flags provided by the dmapool caller. This should
solve the dmapool usage on ARM architecture, where GFP_ATOMIC DMA
allocations can be served only from the special, very limited memory pool.
