[PATCH v2 02/33] drm/ttm/pool: Add ttm_pool_page_order_nodma() helper

From: Matthew Brost

Date: Fri Jul 10 2026 - 17:54:58 EST


TTM records the allocation order of a multi-order page in page->private at
allocation time. For pools that do not use dma_alloc the order is stored
directly, while dma_alloc pools store a struct ttm_pool_dma pointer there
instead. Drivers that do their own DMA mapping (e.g. Xe) need the per-page
order to walk a populated ttm_tt one chunk at a time, but cannot rely on
folio_order(): TTM allocates high-order pages with alloc_pages_node()
without __GFP_COMP, so they are not compound and folio_order() always
returns 0.

Expose ttm_pool_page_order_nodma(), a thin wrapper that returns the order
recorded in page->private. It is only valid for pages from a pool that does
not use dma_alloc; whether a TTM device uses dma_alloc is fixed at ttm
device init time, so callers know from their device configuration that this
helper applies. Use it from the existing internal ttm_pool_page_order() to
keep a single source of truth.
