[PATCH/RESEND] arm64: defconfig: Enlarge CMA alignment to 2 MiB

Show all headers | View raw

Some IOMMUs (e.g. Renesas IPMMU/VMSA) support only page sizes of 4 KiB,
2 MiB, and 1 GiB.

With the default setting of CONFIG_CMA_ALIGNMENT = 8, allocations larger
than 1 MiB are aligned to a 1 MiB boundary only.  Hence a 2 MiB
allocation may not be aligned, leading to a mapping of 512 4 KiB pages.

Increase CONFIG_CMA_ALIGNMENT to allow mapping a 2 MiB buffer using a
single PTE, decreasing memory usage and TLB pressure.

Is this useful?

Should there instead be different defaults in Kconfig, depending on
enabled platform support?
