Subject: RFC: 2 pages are enough for xor speed testing
Date: Wed, 28 May 2014 13:01:52 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140528050152.GA2948@z.redhat.com> (raw)
In crypto/xor.c: calibrate_xor_blocks(), we allocated total 4 pages to
do xor speed testing, the BENCH_SIZE is 1 page. Why do we skip 2 pages
when we set *b2?
It seems that total 2 pages are enough.
