Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drm/gud: Use scatter-gather USB bulk transfer
Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2021 20:01:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210329180120.27380-2-noralf@tronnes.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210329180120.27380-1-noralf@tronnes.org>

There'a limit to how big a kmalloc buffer can be, and as memory gets
fragmented it becomes more difficult to get big buffers. The downside of
smaller buffers is that the driver has to split the transfer up which
hampers performance. Compression might also take a hit because of the
splitting.

Solve this by allocating the transfer buffer using vmalloc and create a
SG table to be passed on to the USB subsystem. vmalloc_32() is used to
avoid DMA bounce buffers on USB controllers that can only access 32-bit
addresses.

This also solves the problem that split transfers can give host side
tearing since flushing is decoupled from rendering.
