Re: [PATCH v2 6/9] dmapool: improve scalability of dma_pool_free

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For v3 of the patchset, I was also considering to add a note to the
kernel-doc comments for dma_pool_create() to use dma_alloc_coherent()
directly instead of a dma pool if the driver intends to allow userspace
to mmap() the returned pages, due to the new use of the _mapcount union
in struct page.  Would you consider that useful information or pointless
trivia?
