[PATCH v5 10/15] arm64: Allow kmalloc() caches aligned to the smaller cache_line_size()

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

 



On arm64, ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is 128, larger than the cache line size on
most of the current platforms (typically 64). Define
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to 8 (the default for architectures without their
own ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN) and override dma_get_cache_alignment() to return
cache_line_size(), probed at run-time. The kmalloc() caches will be
limited to the cache line size. This will allow the additional
kmalloc-{64,192} caches on most arm64 platforms.
