If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Mon Jul 3 13:41:44 CEST 2017 From: Nikita Yushchenko <nikita.yoush@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2017 21:56:31 +0300 Subject: swiotlb: ensure that page-sized mappings are page-aligned From: Nikita Yushchenko <nikita.yoush@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 602d9858f07c72eab64f5f00e2fae55f9902cfbe ] Some drivers do depend on page mappings to be page aligned. Swiotlb already enforces such alignment for mappings greater than page, extend that to page-sized mappings as well. Without this fix, nvme hits BUG() in nvme_setup_prps(), because that routine assumes page-aligned mappings.
