      drm/gem: remove misleading gfp parameter to get_pages() · 0cdbe8ac
      David Herrmann authored 
      drm_gem_get_pages() currently allows passing a 'gfp' parameter that is
passed to shmem combined with mapping_gfp_mask(). Given that the default
mapping_gfp_mask() is GFP_HIGHUSER, it is _very_ unlikely that anyone will
ever make use of that parameter. In fact, all drivers currently pass
redundant flags or 0.

This patch removes the 'gfp' parameter. The only reason to keep it is to
remove flags like __GFP_WAIT. But in its current form, it can only be used
to add flags. So to remove __GFP_WAIT, you'd have to drop it from the
mapping_gfp_mask, which again is stupid as this mask is used by shmem-core
for other allocations, too.

If any driver ever requires that parameter, we can introduce a new helper
that takes the raw 'gfp' parameter. The caller'd be responsible to combine
it with mapping_gfp_mask() in a suitable way. The current
drm_gem_get_pages() helper would then simply use mapping_gfp_mask() and
call the new helper. This is what shmem_read_mapping_pages{_gfp,} does
right now.

Moreover, the gfp-zone flag-usage is not obvious: If you pass a modified
zone, shmem core will WARN() or even BUG(). In other words, the following
must be true for 'gfp' passed to shmem_read_mapping_pages_gfp():
    gfp_zone(mapping_gfp_mask(mapping)) == gfp_zone(gfp)
Add a comment to drm_gem_read_pages() explaining that constraint.

      drm/omap: use __GFP_DMA32 for shmem-backed gem · ab5a60c3
      David Herrmann authored 
      OMAP requires bo-pages to be in the DMA32 zone. Explicitly request this by
setting __GFP_DMA32 as mapping-gfp-mask during shmem initialization. This
drops HIGHMEM from the gfp-mask and uses DMA32 instead. shmem-core takes
care to relocate pages during swap-in in case they have been loaded into
the wrong zone.

It is _not_ possible to pass __GFP_DMA32 to shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp()
as the page might have already been swapped-in at that time. The zone-mask
must be set during initialization and be kept constant for now.

Remove the now superfluous TODO in omap_gem.c.
