[PATCH 29/29] ioat2, 3: cacheline align software descriptor allocations

Dan Williams
2009-09-04T02:32:59Z

All the necessary fields for handling an ioat2,3 ring entry can fit into
one cacheline. Move ->len prior to ->txd in struct ioat_ring_ent, and
move allocation of these entries to a hw-cache-aligned kmem cache to
reduce the number of cachelines dirtied for descriptor management.
