This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: platform: mtk-mdp: Fix mdp_ipi_comm structure alignment to the 4.19-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: media-platform-mtk-mdp-fix-mdp_ipi_comm-structure-al.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2bd97e9ed4ca7142bf0c890546f490d365f1e915 Author: AngeloGioacchino Del Regno <angelogioacchino.delregno@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jun 23 14:55:46 2022 +0100 media: platform: mtk-mdp: Fix mdp_ipi_comm structure alignment [ Upstream commit ab14c99c035da7156a3b66fa171171295bc4b89a ] The mdp_ipi_comm structure defines a command that is either PROCESS (start processing) or DEINIT (destroy instance); we are using this one to send PROCESS or DEINIT commands from Linux to an MDP instance through a VPU write but, while the first wants us to stay 4-bytes aligned, the VPU instead requires an 8-bytes data alignment. Keeping in mind that these commands are executed immediately after sending them (hence not chained with others before the VPU/MDP "actually" start executing), it is fine to simply add a padding of 4 bytes to this structure: this keeps the same performance as before, as we're still stack-allocating it, while avoiding hackery inside of mtk-vpu to ensure alignment bringing a definitely bigger performance impact.
