From 41aa17069ea8d2b5cd2ca1ef7ff6cdb7c6abec95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Sun, 27 Apr 2008 15:38:32 +0200 Subject: ide-tape: improve buffer allocation strategy Instead of allocating pages for the buffer one by one, take advantage of the buddy alloc system and request them 2^order at a time. This increases the chance for bigger buffer parts to be contigious and reduces loop iteration count. While at it, rename function __idetape_kmalloc_stage() to ide_tape_kmalloc_buffer().
