SubjectRe: [PATCH V5 2/3] mm: dmapool: Align to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN innon-coherent DMA mode
Date
Hi, Christoph,

Maybe you missed something.
1, pool_alloc_page() use dma_alloc_coherent() to allocate pool pages, and of course these pages are aligned to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
2, dma_pool_alloc() is the element allocator, but it doesn't use dma_alloc_coherent(). Elements only align to pool->size, but pool->size is usually less than ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.
3, ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is now only used in serveral drivers, no dma_ops use it.

The dmapool code uses dma_alloc_coherent to allocate each element,
and dma_alloc_coherent must align to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN already.
If you implementation doesn't do that it needs to be fixed.
