The patch spi: davinci: do not use DMA for vmalloc'ed buffers has been applied to the spi tree at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/spi.git All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted. You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed. If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced. Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying to this mail. Thanks, Mark >From 4dd9becbce4f10009322c3e2297f9db3ace94a10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frode Isaksen <fisaksen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2017 19:02:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] spi: davinci: do not use DMA for vmalloc'ed buffers Using vmalloc'ed buffers will fail since daVinci has VIVT cache and only the kernel lowmem virtual address is invalidated/flushed when performing DMA. The virtual address returned from vmalloc() is not invalidated/flushed and may contain stale data when returning from spi_sync(). Fixes errors when running UBIFS over SPI NOR. Revert this when all upper layer users of vmalloc'ed buffers sent to SPI handles cache flushing/invalidating.
