[PATCH v2] iommu/iova: change IOVA_MAG_SIZE to 127 to save memory

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

 



kmalloc will round up the request size to power of 2, and current
iova_magazine's size is 1032 (1024+8) bytes, so each instance
allocated will get 2048 bytes from kmalloc, causing around 1KB
waste.

Change IOVA_MAG_SIZE from 128 to 127 to make size of 'iova_magazine'
1024 bytes so that no memory will be wasted.
