Hi Herbert, Thanks for putting this together.

Maybe for platforms where ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN is 8 (fully coherent) but the device's bus master alignment requirements are higher. My plan is to have ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN always defined but potentially higher than ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN on specific architectures. I think crypto_tfm_ctx_dma() should use ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (and no #ifdefs) until I get my patches sorted and I'll replace it with ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN once it's defined globally (still no #ifdefs). Currently in mainline it's ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN that gives the static DMA alignment. With the explicit crypto_tfm_ctx_dma(), can CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR be dropped entirely? This may be beneficial in reducing the structure size when no DMA is required. -- Catalin
