From: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx> The DMA transfer must be aligned to a specific value. If userptr is not aligned to DMA requirements then unexpected corruptions of the memory may occur before or after a buffer. To prevent such situations, all unligned userptr buffers are rejected at VIDIOC_QBUF.
