This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled block: sed-opal: kmalloc the cmd/resp buffers to the 5.15-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: block-sed-opal-kmalloc-the-cmd-resp-buffers.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 18f3e1dc357520de7bbe05319fe88e9b119db8a4 Author: Serge Semin <Sergey.Semin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 7 23:39:44 2022 +0300 block: sed-opal: kmalloc the cmd/resp buffers [ Upstream commit f829230dd51974c1f4478900ed30bb77ba530b40 ] In accordance with [1] the DMA-able memory buffers must be cacheline-aligned otherwise the cache writing-back and invalidation performed during the mapping may cause the adjacent data being lost. It's specifically required for the DMA-noncoherent platforms [2]. Seeing the opal_dev.{cmd,resp} buffers are implicitly used for DMAs in the NVME and SCSI/SD drivers in framework of the nvme_sec_submit() and sd_sec_submit() methods respectively they must be cacheline-aligned to prevent the denoted problem. One of the option to guarantee that is to kmalloc the buffers [2]. Let's explicitly allocate them then instead of embedding into the opal_dev structure instance. Note this fix was inspired by the commit c94b7f9bab22 ("nvme-hwmon: kmalloc the NVME SMART log buffer").
