[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 7/7] part_efi: dcache: allocate cacheline aligned buffers

Anton Staaf robotboy at chromium.org
Tue Oct 4 23:24:51 CEST 2011


Currently part_efi.c allocates buffers for the gpt_header, the
legacy_mbr, and the pte (partition table entry) that may be
incorrectly aligned for DMA operations.

This patch uses ALLOC_CACHE_ALIGN_BUFFER for the stack allocated
buffers and memalign to replace the malloc of the pte.
