From 3611553ef985ef7c5863c8a94641738addd04cff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Haavard Skinnemoen Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2007 17:08:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [AVR32] Drop GFP_COMP for DMA memory allocations dma_alloc_coherent wants to split pages after allocation in order to reduce the memory footprint. This does not work well with GFP_COMP pages, so drop this flag before allocation.
