This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iio: frequency: ad9523: Fix alignment for DMA safety to the 5.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: iio-frequency-ad9523-fix-alignment-for-dma-safety.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 51b90a9d166c1c5ecaf9d2b0f9aa112167946627 Author: Jonathan Cameron <Jonathan.Cameron@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun May 8 18:56:45 2022 +0100 iio: frequency: ad9523: Fix alignment for DMA safety [ Upstream commit 8ff2eb625c353b1491d9f89f1dfd52e7aef5734c ] ____cacheline_aligned is an insufficient guarantee for non-coherent DMA on platforms with 128 byte cachelines above L1. Switch to the updated IIO_DMA_MINALIGN definition. Updated help text to 'may' require buffers to be in their own cacheline.
