net: macb: single dma_alloc_coherent() for DMA descriptors
Move from 2*NUM_QUEUES dma_alloc_coherent() for DMA descriptor rings to
2 calls overall.
Issue is with how all queues share the same register for configuring the
upper 32-bits of Tx/Rx descriptor rings. Taking Tx, notice how TBQPH
does *not* depend on the queue index:
#define GEM_TBQP(hw_q) (0x0440 + ((hw_q) << 2))
#define GEM_TBQPH(hw_q) (0x04C8)
queue_writel(queue, TBQP, lower_32_bits(queue->tx_ring_dma));
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT
if (bp->hw_dma_cap & HW_DMA_CAP_64B)
queue_writel(queue, TBQPH, upper_32_bits(queue->tx_ring_dma));
#endif
To maximise our chances of getting valid DMA addresses, we do a single
dma_alloc_coherent() across queues. This improves the odds because
alloc_pages() guarantees natural alignment. Other codepaths (IOMMU or
dev/arch dma_map_ops) don't give high enough guarantees
(even page-aligned isn't enough).
Two consideration:
- dma_alloc_coherent() gives us page alignment. Here we remove this
constraint meaning each queue's ring won't be page-aligned anymore.
- This can save some tiny amounts of memory. Fewer allocations means
(1) less overhead (constant cost per alloc) and (2) less wasted bytes
due to alignment constraints.
Example for (2): 4 queues, default ring size (512), 64-bit DMA
descriptors, 16K pages:
- Before: 8 allocs of 8K, each rounded to 16K => 64K wasted.
- After: 2 allocs of 32K => 0K wasted.
