From 8408c282f0cf34ee166df5f842f2861d245407fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 12:54:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: First try a normal large kmalloc for the temporary exec buffers As we just need a temporary array whilst performing the relocations for the execbuffer, first attempt to allocate using kmalloc even if it is not of order page-0. This avoids the overhead of remapping the discontiguous array and so gives a moderate boost to execution throughput.
