Subject[PATCH V3 2/3] mm: dmapool: Align to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN in non-coherent DMA mode
Message-ID<upbZU-5r0-21@gated-at.bofh.it>
In non-coherent DMA mode, kernel uses cache flushing operations to
maintain I/O coherency, so the dmapool objects should be aligned to
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN.

What are the user-visible effects of this bug?

Hi, Andrew,

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) may cause data lost.
