Subject: [PATCH] mm: refresh ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32 comments in 'enum
zone_type'
commit 734f9246e791d8da278957b2c326d7709b2a97c0 upstream.
These zones usage has evolved with time and the comments were outdated.
This joins both ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32 explanation and gives up to date
examples on how they are used on different architectures.

- * ZONE_DMA is used when there are devices that are not able

- * Architecture Limit
- * ---------------------------
- * parisc, ia64, sparc <4G

- * arm Various
- * alpha Unlimited or 0-16MB.
+ * ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32 are used when there are peripherals not able
+ * to DMA to all of the addressable memory (ZONE_NORMAL).
+ * On architectures where this area covers the whole 32 bit address
+ * space ZONE_DMA32 is used. ZONE_DMA is left for the ones with smaller
+ * DMA addressing constraints. This distinction is important as a 32bit
+ * DMA mask is assumed when ZONE_DMA32 is defined. Some 64-bit
+ * platforms may need both zones as they support peripherals with
+ * different DMA addressing limitations.
+ *
+ * Some examples:
+ *
+ * - i386 and x86_64 have a fixed 16M ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32 for the
+ * rest of the lower 4G.
+ *
+ * - arm only uses ZONE_DMA, the size, up to 4G, may vary depending on
+ * the specific device.
+ *
+ * - arm64 has a fixed 1G ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32 for the rest of the
+ * lower 4G.
+ *
+ * - powerpc only uses ZONE_DMA, the size, up to 2G, may vary
+ * depending on the specific device.
*
- * i386, x86_64 and multiple other arches
- * <16M.
+ * - s390 uses ZONE_DMA fixed to the lower 2G.
+ *
+ * - ia64 and riscv only use ZONE_DMA32.
+ *
+ * - parisc uses neither.
