[EARLY RFC][PATCH 2/4] dma-buf: pools: Add page-pool for dma-buf pools

John Stultz john.stultz at linaro.org
Thu Feb 21 07:40:28 UTC 2019


This adds the page-pool logic to the dma-buf pools which allows
a pool to keep pre-allocated/flushed pages around which can
speed up allocation performance.

NOTE: The page-pools name is term preserved from ION, but it has
potential to be easily confused with dma-buf pools. Suggestions
for alternatives here would be great.
