Subject: [PATCH v3] irqchip/gicv3-its: Avoid memory over allocation for ITEs

We are always allocating extra 255Bytes of memory to handle ITE
physical address alignment requirement. The kmalloc() satisfies
the ITE alignment since the ITS driver is requesting a minimum
size of ITS_ITT_ALIGN bytes.

Let's try to allocate the exact amount of memory that is required
for ITEs to avoid wastage.

Is this really worth the complexity? Are you aware of a system where the
accumulation of overallocation actually shows up as being an issue?

If you want to be absolutely exact in your allocation, then I'd suggest
doing it all the time, and have a proper dedicated allocator that always
do the right thing, without a wasteful fallback like you still have here.

Thanks,

M.

As such there is no issue with over allocation. Actually this change masked QDF2400 bug 'iirqchip/gicv3-its: Add workaround for QDF2400 ITS erratum 0065' till now, found and fixed recently while looking at the code for possible memory optimizations.

We don't need to fallbak, and it can be removed safely. Looking for your suggestion. should I implement a dedicated allocator or remove fallbak for simpler code?

Are you saying that kmalloc is guaranteed to give us something that is
256 byte aligned? If so, why do we test for alignment (with free +
over-allocate if it fails)?

I'd rather have only one way of allocating the ITT. Either we always
overallocate in order to guarantee right alignment (and my personal view
is that for most system, this doesn't matter at all), or we create our
own allocator. The issue with the latter is that we don't really have a
good story for allocating arrays of objects with a given alignment
(kmem_cache_* only deals with single objects).

Thanks,

M.

I've verified on my system kmalloc() is always allocating memory with 256bytes alignment. kmalloc() uses the generic slab caches available in the kernel to allocate memory based on the input size.

Adding a dedicated function to allocate memory is preferable but need pull a few of lines of code.
