Ivo, Gertjan, do you remeber by any chance why this alignment stuff was added
|
||
|
|
in the first place? Was it because of DMA restrictions?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While doing some profiling on the rt3052 SoC I noticed that 30-40% time was
|
||
|
|
spent in memmove calls. And the culprit is the memmove aligning the payload
|
||
|
|
to a 4byte boundary since that has to move a whole bunch of data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Interesstingly the legacy drivers insert an l2pad between the header and the
|
||
|
|
payload but doesn't realign the payload itself to a 4-byte boundary. Hence,
|
||
|
|
I came up with this patch and indeed CPU usage improves impressively.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Only tested on rt2800pci!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thanks,
|
||
|
|
Helmut
