Subject: Why does ion_cma_allocate need GFP_HIGHUSER | __GFP_ZERO flags?
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 16:18:16 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <54645B38.10603@lge.com> (raw)
Hi,
I'm wondering why dma_alloc_coherent needs GFP_HIGHUSER | __GFP_ZERO flags in ion_cma_allocate().
I think dma_alloc_coherent can go to __dma_alloc if the system has CMA area.
If __GFP_WAIT flag is set, it allocates memory from atomic pool.
So I think calling dma_alloc_coherent with __GFP_WAIT is enough.
And can I get zero-filled-memory from CMA if I set __GFP_ZERO?
