[PATCH 03/10] spi: Guarantee cacheline alignment of driver-private data

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

 



__spi_alloc_controller() uses a single allocation to accommodate struct
spi_controller and the driver-private data, but places the latter behind
the former.  This order does not guarantee cacheline alignment of the
driver-private data.  It does guarantee cacheline alignment of struct
spi_controller but the structure doesn't make any use of that property.

Reverse the order.  A forthcoming commit leverages this to grant DMA
access to driver-private data of the BCM2835 SPI master.

An alternative approach would be to round up struct spi_controller to
cacheline size, at the expense of some wasted memory.
