[PATCH V6 3/3] scsi: Align block queue to dma_get_cache_alignment()

Show all headers | View raw

In non-coherent DMA mode, kernel uses cache flushing operations to
maintain I/O coherency, so scsi's block queue should be aligned to
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN. Otherwise, it will cause data corruption, at least
on MIPS:

        Step 1, dma_map_single
        Step 2, cache_invalidate (no writeback)
        Step 3, dma_from_device
        Step 4, dma_unmap_single

If a DMA buffer and a kernel structure share a same cache line, and if
the kernel structure has dirty data, cache_invalidate (no writeback)
will cause data lost.
