Not really. Traditionally GFP_DMA was always mixed in with GFP_KERNEL or GFP_ATOMIC. It seems that GFP_DMA wasn't in the hunk of defines that all the other kernel flags were in, so if GFP_DMA is really valid all by itself, adding in the __GFP_VALID should be okay. -ben -- "Time is what keeps everything from happening all at once." -- John Wheeler - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
