No, the buffer is in kmalloc()ed memory, but it is not DMA safe, as it
it not guaranteed to be aligned on cache line size. If you want to do
DMA to it, you need to change:
struct elants_data {
...
u8 buf[MAX_PACKET_SIZE] ____cacheline_aligned;
};
i.e. mark it ____cacheline_aligned and move it to the very end (or mark
the next element in the structure cacheline aligned as well).
Otherwise DMA might smash nearby fileds in this structire.
