When AMD memory encryption is enabled, some devices may use more than 256KB/sec from the atomic pools. It would be more appropriate to scale the default size based on memory capacity unless the coherent_pool option is used on the kernel command line. This provides a slight optimization on initial expansion and is deemed appropriate due to the increased reliance on the atomic pools. Note that the default size of 128KB per pool will normally be larger than the single coherent pool implementation since there are now up to three coherent pools (DMA, DMA32, and kernel). Note that even prior to this patch, coherent_pool= for sizes larger than 1 << (PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER-1) can fail. With new dynamic expansion support, this would be trivially extensible to allow even larger initial sizes.

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.
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.
