Subject: [PATCH v4 6/6] media: uvcvideo: Use dma_alloc_noncontiguous API

On architectures where there is no coherent caching such as ARM use the
dma_alloc_noncontiguous API and handle manually the cache flushing using
dma_sync_sgtable().

If the architechture has coherent cache, the API falls back to
alloc_dma_pages, so we can remove the coherent caching code-path from the
driver, making it simpler.

With this patch on the affected architectures we can measure up to 20x
performance improvement in uvc_video_copy_data_work().

Eg: aarch64 with an external usb camera

Hi Christoph

I guess you can merge this patch from your tree. I hope it is not too
late in this release cycle.

Have a great week!

The timing is perfectly fine, I haven't even started the dma-mapping tree
for v5.13 yet.

Thanks, with all the reviews in I've applied the series to the
dma-mapping tree for 5.13.

This will eventually become a stable baseline branch for the v4l work
and the mips drm driver that needs dma_mmap_pages, but I'd like to wait
a bit for any issues to pop up in linux-next first.

Hi Christoph

While backporting the patch I realised of a bug.

We should have mem_flags instead of GFP_KERNEL here


Is it too late to fix it in your tree? Do I need to send a patch to fix it?

Sorry :(
