Subject: SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN question
Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2001 00:24:11 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011201002411.A12832@in.ibm.com> (raw)
Greetings.
Why does SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN forces alignment on L1_CACHE_BYTES
and not SMP_CACHE_BYTES ? Does this have anything to do with
fitting cache objects in a single L1 cache line even when it
is uniprocessor and SMP_CACHE_BYTES is no equal to L1_CACHE_BYTES ?
Thanks
Dipankar
