- - A buffer is allocated either in consistent (it will be automatically
- coherent between the CPU and the bus) or non-consistent memory. The
- latter can provide performance gains, for instance the CPU cache
- sync/flush operations can be avoided if the buffer is accessed by the
- corresponding device only and the CPU does not read/write to/from that
- buffer. However, this requires extra care from the driver -- it must
- guarantee memory consistency by issuing a cache flush/sync when
- consistency is needed. If this flag is set V4L2 will attempt to
- allocate the buffer in non-consistent memory. The flag takes effect
- only if the buffer is used for :ref:`memory mapping <mmap>` I/O and the
- queue reports the :ref:`V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_MMAP_CACHE_HINTS
- <V4L2-BUF-CAP-SUPPORTS-MMAP-CACHE-HINTS>` capability.
