I've been running this series on rk3588 (which has CAP_UNALIGNED_ACCESS set),
so alignment will be set to 0 in pci_endpoint_test_{copy,read,write}().
When running:
pcitest -r -s 1
pcitest -r -s 2
pcitest -r -s 3
pcitest -r -s 4
many, many times, and dma_alloc_coherent() always returned an address that
was 4 byte aligned, regardless of input size.
Additionally, when setting alignment to 0, the code in
pci_endpoint_test_{copy,read,write}() will behave exactly as it did before
the "alignment support" was added in commit:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/13107c60681f19fec25af93de86442ac9373e43f
So I think this patch is good as is.
Kind regards,
Niklas
