This reverts commit9730348075. Commit9730348075("arm64: Increase the max granular size") increased the cache line size to 128 to match Cavium ThunderX, apparently for some performance benefit which could not be confirmed. This change, however, has an impact on the network packet allocation in certain circumstances, requiring slightly over a 4K page with a significant performance degradation. The patch reverts L1_CACHE_SHIFT back to 6 (64-byte cache line). Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
