| |
Hi, I noticed a lot of drivers are setting the PCI_CACHE_LINE_SIZE themselves, some to L1_CACHE_BYTES/sizeof(u32), others to arbitrary values (4, 8, 16).
Then I spotted that we have a routine in the PCI subsystem (pdev_enable_device) that sets all these to L1_CACHE_BYTES/sizeof(u32) Further digging revealed that this routine was not getting called.
On my Athlon box, I've noticed some devices are getting their default values set to 8 (where (I think) it should be 16 ?)
Questions: 1. Is there reason for the drivers to be setting this themselves to hardcoded values ? 2. Why is pdev_device_enable no longer used ?
regards,
Davej.
