From 23d9f5531c7c28546954b0bf332134a9b8a38c0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Kicinski Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2018 14:42:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] nfp: provide a better warning when ring allocation fails NFP supports fairly enormous ring sizes (up to 256k descriptors). In commit 466271703867 ("nfp: use kvcalloc() to allocate SW buffer descriptor arrays") we have started using kvcalloc() functions to make sure the allocation of software state arrays doesn't hit the MAX_ORDER limit. Unfortunately, we can't use virtual mappings for the DMA region holding HW descriptors. In case this allocation fails instead of the generic (and fairly scary) warning/splat in the logs print a helpful message explaining what happened and suggesting how to fix it.
