...and provides the behavior which is closest to the current one. Commit 414cbd1e3d14 "s390/airq: provide cacheline aligned ivs" (Sebastian Ott, 2019-02-27) could have been smaller had you implemented 'kmem_cache for everything' (and I would have had just to replace kmem_cache with dma_cache to achieve option 3). For some reason you decided to keep the iv->vector = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL) code-path and make the client code request iv->vector = kmem_cache_zalloc(airq_iv_cache, GFP_KERNEL) explicitly, using a flag which you only decided to use for directed pci irqs AFAICT. My un...

From: Halil Pasic <pasic at linux.ibm.com> Protected virtualization guests have to use shared pages for airq notifier bit vectors, because hypervisor needs to write these bits.

Enhanced virtualization protection technology may require the use of bounce buffers for I/O. While support for this was built into the virtio core, virtio-ccw wasn't changed accordingly. Some background on technology (not part of this series) and the terminology used. * Protected Virtualization (PV): Protected Virtualization guarantees, that non-shared memory of a guest that operates in PV
