vmalloc: fix __GFP_HIGHMEM usage for vmalloc_32 on 32b systems
Kai Heng Feng has noticed that BUG_ON(PageHighMem(pg)) triggers in
drivers/media/common/saa7146/saa7146_core.c since 19809c2da28a ("mm,
vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly").
saa7146_vmalloc_build_pgtable uses vmalloc_32 and it is reasonable to
expect that the resulting page is not in highmem. The above commit
aimed to add __GFP_HIGHMEM only for those requests which do not specify
any zone modifier gfp flag. vmalloc_32 relies on GFP_VMALLOC32 which
should do the right thing. Except it has been missed that GFP_VMALLOC32
is an alias for GFP_KERNEL on 32b architectures. Thanks to Matthew to
notice this.
Fix the problem by unconditionally setting GFP_DMA32 in GFP_VMALLOC32
for !64b arches (as a bailout). This should do the right thing and use
ZONE_NORMAL which should be always below 4G on 32b systems.
