Subject: [PATCH -mm 2/2] x86: avoid duplicated memset in dma_generic_alloc_coherent()
Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2014 21:39:47 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1397997587-11021-3-git-send-email-akinobu.mita@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1397997587-11021-1-git-send-email-akinobu.mita@gmail.com>

This patch fixes duplicated memset that is introduced by the patch
x86-make-dma_alloc_coherent-return-zeroed-memory-if-cma-is-enabled.patch
in -mm tree, and this change should be folded into it.

If dma_generic_alloc_coherent() is called with __GFP_ZERO, it does a
duplicated memset to the memory area allocated by alloc_pages_node()
with __GFP_ZERO.  This change fixes that inefficiency by clearing
__GFP_ZERO bit in gfp flages before calling alloc_pages_node().  Note
that dma_generic_alloc_coherent() always returns zeroed memory.
