[PATCH 2/3] scsi: use dma_get_cache_alignment() as minimum DMA alignment

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@xxxxxxxxxx>

In non-coherent DMA mode, kernel uses cache flushing operations to maintain
I/O coherency, so scsi's block queue should be aligned to the value
returned by dma_get_cache_alignment().  Otherwise, If a DMA buffer and a
kernel structure share a same cache line, and if the kernel structure has
dirty data, cache_invalidate (no writeback) will cause data corruption.
