DMA memory allocation

Wether the memories allocated by kmalloc or get_free_pages could be
swapped out? In the book "linux device drivers", some drivers use the
memory allocated by kmalloc or get_free_pages for DMA. There will be
some problems if the memory could be swapped out. Could someone explain
this?
Thanks,
