Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/7] net: stmmac: provide plat_dat->dma_cfg in stmmac_plat_dat_alloc()
Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:39:18 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1vzX54-0000000CVrw-2jfu@rmk-PC.armlinux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <aa6VEsmBK-S9eNYU@shell.armlinux.org.uk>
plat_dat->dma_cfg is unconditionally required for the operation of the
driver, so it would make sense to allocate it along with the plat_dat.
On Arm64, sizeof(*plat_dat) has recently shrunk from 880 to 816 bytes
and sizeof(*plat_dat->dma_cfg) has shrunk from 32 to 20 bytes.
Given that dma_cfg is required, and it is now less than a cache line,
It doesn't make sense to allocate this separateny, so place it at the
end of struct plat_stmmacenet_data, and set plat_dat->dma_cfg to point
at that to avoid mass changes.
