I don't see what the actual problem is. Even if you use multiple pools, which we should for scalability on sun4u too, just do the flush when allocation in _any_ pool wraps around. That's still better than not doing the optimization at all. That is always going to be correct, and you can use a separate spinlock to make sure only one thread of control does the full IOMMU flush at a time. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
