[PATCH 01/10] mm/slab: Decouple ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN from ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN

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

 



In preparation for supporting a dynamic kmalloc() minimum alignment,
allow architectures to define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN independently of
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN. In addition, always define ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN even if
an architecture does not override it.

After this patch, ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is expected to be used in static
alignment annotations and defined by an architecture to be the maximum
alignment for all supported configurations/SoCs in a single Image.
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN, if different, is the minimum alignment guaranteed
by kmalloc().
