Then, how about simply changing it to twice of L1_CACHE_BYTES ?

#define XPS_MIN_MAP_ALLOC ((L1_CACHE_BYTES * 2 - sizeof(struct xps_map)) / sizeof(u16))


Seems good to me.

Great!

Can you then maybe give me an Acked-by or signed-off for the patch below?
It further adds a compile-time check to avoid that XPS_MIN_MAP_ALLOC
gets calculated to zero on any architecture - otherwise no queues would
be allocated.

In addition I would like to push it for v4.3 then through my parisc-tree
(after keeping it in for-next for 1-2 days), together with the patch
which reduces L1_CACHE_BYTES to 16 on parisc.
Would that be OK too?

Thanks!

[PATCH] net/xps: Increase initial number of xps queues

Increase the number of initial allocated xps queues, so that the initial record
allocates twice the size of L1_CACHE_BYTES bytes.

This change is needed to copy with architectures where L1_CACHE_BYTES is
defined to equal or less than 16 bytes.

Rather then leaving a potential bug you could probably rewrite the macro so that it will give you at least 1.

All you need to do is something like the following
#define XPS_MIN_MAP_ALLOC \
	((L1_CACHE_ALIGN(offsetof(struct xps_map, queue[1])) - \
	  sizeof(struct xps_map)) / sizeof(u16))

That should give you at least an XPS_MIN_MAP_ALLOC of 1.
