The quilt patch titled Subject: arm64: allow kmalloc() caches aligned to the smaller cache_line_size() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was arm64-allow-kmalloc-caches-aligned-to-the-smaller-cache_line_size.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx> Subject: arm64: allow kmalloc() caches aligned to the smaller cache_line_size() Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2023 16:31:55 +0100 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.
