Subject: [PATCH 4/4] [ARM] dma-mapping: add support for inner-writeback pages
Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2010 19:42:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1280803369-13362-5-git-send-email-gking@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1280803369-13362-1-git-send-email-gking@nvidia.com>
add support for pages allocated with the inner-writeback
allocation attribute to the cache flush and DMA cache maintenance
code.
pages allocated from the attribute page allocator with the inner-
writeback attribute selected can bypass outer cache maintenance,
since outer cachelines will not be allocated for these pages.
this results in a significant reduction in the time spent performing
cache maintenance for these pages.
