[PATCH v4 00/15] mm, dma, arm64: Reduce ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to 8

[Catalin Marinas]

Hi,

That's the fourth version of the series reducing the kmalloc() minimum
alignment on arm64 to 8 (from 128).

The first 10 patches decouple ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN from
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN and, for arm64, it limits the kmalloc() caches to
those aligned to the run-time probed cache_line_size(). The advantage on
arm64 is that we gain the kmalloc-{64,192} caches.

The subsequent patches (11 to 15) further reduce the kmalloc() caches to
kmalloc-{8,16,32,96} if the default swiotlb is present by bouncing small
buffers in the DMA API. For iommu, following discussions with Robin, we
concluded that it's still simpler to walk the sg list if the device is
non-coherent and follow the bouncing path when any of the elements may
originate from a small kmalloc() allocation.

Main changes since v3:

- Reorganise the series so that the first 10 patches could be applied
  before the DMA bouncing. They are still useful on arm64 reducing the
  kmalloc() alignment to 64.

- There is no dma_sg_kmalloc_needs_bounce() function, it has been
  unrolled in the iommu_dma_sync_sg_for_device() function.

- No crypto changes needed following Herbert's reworking of the crypto
  code (thanks!).

The patches are also available on this branch:

Thanks.
