From: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx> Discussion of the series: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220405135758.774016-1-catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx/ mm, arm64: Reduce ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN brought to my attention that our current IIO usage of L1CACHE_ALIGN is insufficient as their are Arm platforms out their with non coherent DMA and larger cache lines at at higher levels of their cache hierarchy. Note this patch will greatly reduce the padding on some architectures that have smaller requirements for DMA safe buffers. The history of changing values of ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN via ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN on arm64 is rather complex. I'm not tagging this as fixing a particular patch from that route as it's not clear what to tag. Most recently a change to bring them back inline was reverted because of some Qualcomm Kryo cores with an L2 cache with 128-byte lines sitting above the point of coherency. c1132702c71f Revert "arm64: cache: Lower ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to 64 (L1_CACHE_BYTES)" That reverts: 65688d2a05de arm64: cache: Lower ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to 64 (L1_CACHE_BYTES) which refers to the change originally being motivated by Thunder x1 performance rather than correctness.
