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

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Sun Oct 14 2018 - 14:14:52 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.
