ARM: 7979/1: mm: Remove hugetlb warning from Coherent DMA allocator
The Coherant DMA allocator allocates pages of high order then splits them up into smaller pages. This splitting logic would run into problems if the allocator was given compound pages. Thus the Coherant DMA allocator was originally incompatible with compound pages existing and, by extension, huge pages. A compile #error was put in place whenever huge pages were enabled. Compatibility with compound pages has since been introduced by the following commit (which merely excludes GFP_COMP pages from being requested by the coherant DMA allocator): ea2e7057 ARM: 7172/1: dma: Drop GFP_COMP for DMA memory allocations When huge page support was introduced to ARM, the compile #error in dma-mapping.c was replaced by a #warning when it should have been removed instead. This patch removes the compile #warning in dma-mapping.c when huge pages are enabled. Signed-off-by: Steve Capper <steve.capper@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
