[PATCH 2/9] dma-direct: reject highmem pages from dma_alloc_from_contiguous

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Mon Nov 05 2018 - 07:19:49 EST


dma_alloc_from_contiguous can return highmem pages depending on the
setup, which a plain non-remapping DMA allocator can't handle. Detect
this case and try the normal page allocator instead.
