[PATCH 2/2] powerpc: node-away dma allocations

Christoph Hellwig hch at lst.de
Wed Jun 7 00:11:35 EST 2006


Make sure dma_alloc_coherent allocates memory from the local node.  This
is important on Cell where we avoid going through the slow cpu
interconnect.

Note:  I could only test this patch on Cell, it should be verified on
some pseries machine by thos that have the hardware.
