While we are at it: in bio_map_user_iov() we have iov_for_each(iov, i, *iter) { unsigned long uaddr = (unsigned long) iov.iov_base; unsigned long len = iov.iov_len; unsigned long end = (uaddr + len + PAGE_SIZE - 1) >> PAGE_SHIFT; unsigned long start = uaddr >> PAGE_SHIFT; /* * Overflow, abort */ if (end < start) return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL); nr_pages += end - start; /* * buffer must be aligned to at least hardsector size for now */ if (uaddr & queue_dma_alignment(q)) return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL); } Do we only care about the iov_base alignment? IOW, shouldn't we check for iov_len being a multiple of queue_dma_alignment(q) as well? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
