During a bulk transfer we request a DMA allocation to hold the scatter-gather list. Most of the time, this allocation is small (<< PAGE_SIZE), however it can be requested at a high enough frequency to cause fragmentation and/or stress the CMA allocator (think time spent in compaction here, or during allocations elsewhere). Implement a pool to serve up small DMA allocations, falling back to a coherent allocation if the request is greater than VCHIQ_DMA_POOL_SIZE. Signed-off-by: Oliver Gjoneski <ogjoneski@gmail.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
