Subject: [PATCH 4/4] s390: Add support for DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS (again)
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 16:14:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260716141436.2125703-5-hca@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260716141436.2125703-1-hca@linux.ibm.com>
Implement load_unaligned_zeropad() and enable DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS to
speed up string operations in fs/dcache.c and fs/namei.c.
With the secure storage access exception cases addressed, add support
for DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS again.
