This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled crypto: caam - make write transactions bufferable on PPC platforms to the 4.3-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: crypto-caam-make-write-transactions-bufferable-on-ppc-platforms.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.3 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From e7a7104e432c0db8469ca3568daf4f1d1afe3e73 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Horia Geant? <horia.geanta@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2016 17:59:29 +0200 Subject: crypto: caam - make write transactions bufferable on PPC platforms From: Horia Geant? <horia.geanta@xxxxxxx> commit e7a7104e432c0db8469ca3568daf4f1d1afe3e73 upstream. Previous change (see "Fixes" tag) to the MCFGR register clears AWCACHE[0] ("bufferable" AXI3 attribute) (which is "1" at POR). This makes all writes non-bufferable, causing a ~ 5% performance drop for PPC-based platforms. Rework previous change such that MCFGR[AWCACHE]=4'b0011 (bufferable + cacheable) for all platforms. Note: For ARM-based platforms, AWCACHE[0] is ignored by the interconnect IP.
