I may be misunderstanding you, but isn't that going back to how things used= to be before pulling in David Rientjes' work? The benefit of having a GFP_KERN= EL pool is that non-address-constrained devices can get their atomic memory th= ere, instead of consuming somewhat scarcer low memory. --=-1l9N/1yPO/4ruj6aYldS Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEErOkkGDHCg2EbPcGjlfZmHno8x/4FAl8F7aMACgkQlfZmHno8 x/5/9gf+NzyxgUaobjh+kSJ+z1K3KcgSbBWTsleHIga7PNEsLskweeTIbHy8Mu+L +l3d5Luho/JiDNEwb/ogwIUOxxVnRMMypi0Pi1sSQKC8saaZBaACuZHlbl9FYola +hM7aLJNaSdqN5lEqo185qtvbWE4czz+Lvhw+AiuzzI4d4bKswtCYj9kKO70ir+I cTIIpzcwHXjDELCOGBnTmhIIL11feTP7BDZszZdk+Pp99KFBLPedpmSvp0PoaKN0 qxchAwBNrt31Jb1VjkMpRyAUqFZFPbcbBw0cqNdovej39bRIdJnjKUV2Qpg56ZRh S5MgcOa4ctQVFoo7VirwED00A3dGDg== =bCcC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-1l9N/1yPO/4ruj6aYldS-- --===============3581263261944886709== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu --===============3581263261944886709==--
