    dma-pool: scale the default DMA coherent pool size with memory capacity · 1d659236
    David Rientjes authored
    When AMD memory encryption is enabled, some devices may use more than
    256KB/sec from the atomic pools.  It would be more appropriate to scale
    the default size based on memory capacity unless the coherent_pool
    option is used on the kernel command line.
    
    This provides a slight optimization on initial expansion and is deemed
    appropriate due to the increased reliance on the atomic pools.  Note that
    the default size of 128KB per pool will normally be larger than the
    single coherent pool implementation since there are now up to three
    coherent pools (DMA, DMA32, and kernel).
    
    Note that even prior to this patch, coherent_pool= for sizes larger than
    1 << (PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER-1) can fail.  With new dynamic expansion
    support, this would be trivially extensible to allow even larger initial
    sizes.
