From ea125892a17f43919c726777ed1e4929d41e7984 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 16 May 2007 22:11:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix page allocation flags in grow_dev_page() grow_dev_page() simply passes GFP_NOFS to find_or_create_page. This means the allocation of radix tree nodes is done with GFP_NOFS and the allocation of a new page is done using GFP_NOFS. The mapping has a flags field that contains the necessary allocation flags for the page cache allocation. These need to be consulted in order to get DMA and HIGHMEM allocations etc right. And yes a blockdev could be allowing Highmem allocations if its a ramdisk.
