Hi, Another version of the series reducing the kmalloc() minimum alignment on arm64 to 8 (from 128). Other architectures can easily opt in by defining ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN as 8 and selecting DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC. The first 10 patches decouple ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN from ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN and, for arm64, limit the kmalloc() caches to those aligned to the run-time probed cache_line_size(). On arm64 we gain the kmalloc-{64,192} caches. The subsequent patches (11 to 15) further reduce the kmalloc() caches to kmalloc-{8,16,32,96} if the default swiotlb is present by bouncing small buffers in the DMA API. Changes since v4: - Following Robin's suggestions, reworked the iommu handling so that the buffer size checks are done in the dev_use_swiotlb() and dev_use_sg_swiotlb() functions (together with dev_is_untrusted()). The sync operations can now check for the SG_DMA_USE_SWIOTLB flag. Since this flag is no longer specific to kmalloc() bouncing (covers dev_is_untrusted() as well), the sg_is_dma_use_swiotlb() and sg_dma_mark_use_swiotlb() functions are always defined if CONFIG_SWIOTLB. - Dropped ARCH_WANT_KMALLOC_DMA_BOUNCE, only left the DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC option, selectable by the arch code. The NEED_SG_DMA_FLAGS is now selected by IOMMU_DMA if SWIOTLB. - Rather than adding another config option, allow dma_get_cache_alignment() to be overridden by the arch code (Christoph's suggestion). - Added a comment to the dma_kmalloc_needs_bounce() function on the heuristics behind the bouncing. - Added acked-by/reviewed-by tags (not adding Ard's tested-by yet as there were some changes). The updated patches are also available on this branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux devel/kmalloc-minalign Thanks.
