[PATCH 3/7] mmc: at91_mci: use one coherent DMA buffer

Nicolas Ferre nicolas.ferre at atmel.com
Fri Feb 26 13:39:31 EST 2010


From: Wolfgang Muees <wolfgang.mues at auerswald.de>

The TX DMA buffer is allocated only once, because the allocation/deallocation
of the buffer for EACH chunk of data is time-consuming and prone to memory
fragmentation.

Using a coherent DMA buffer avoids extra data cache calls.
