Subject: [PATCH] android: binder: use VM_ALLOC to get vm area.
Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2016 14:41:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1472712064-3643-1-git-send-email-opensource.ganesh@gmail.com> (raw)
VM_IOREMAP is used to access hardware through a mechanism called
I/O mapped memory. Android binder is a IPC machanism which will
not access I/O memory.
Also VM_IOREMAP has alignment requiement which may not needed in
binder.
----
__get_vm_area_node()
{
...
if (flags & VM_IOREMAP)
align = 1ul << clamp_t(int, fls_long(size),
PAGE_SHIFT, IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER);
...
}
----
This patch use VM_ALLOC to get vm area.
