Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] dma-debug-dont-report-false-positives-with-dma_bounce_unaligned_kmalloc.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2025 13:25:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251015202507.8815BC4CEF8@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: dma-debug: don't report false positives with DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
dma-debug-dont-report-false-positives-with-dma_bounce_unaligned_kmalloc.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: dma-debug: don't report false positives with DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC
Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2025 16:15:08 +0200
Commit 370645f41e6e ("dma-mapping: force bouncing if the kmalloc() size is
not cache-line-aligned") introduced DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC feature
and permitted architecture specific code configure kmalloc slabs with
sizes smaller than the value of dma_get_cache_alignment().
When that feature is enabled, the physical address of some small
kmalloc()-ed buffers might be not aligned to the CPU cachelines, thus not
really suitable for typical DMA. To properly handle that case a SWIOTLB
buffer bouncing is used, so no CPU cache corruption occurs. When that
happens, there is no point reporting a false-positive DMA-API warning that
the buffer is not properly aligned, as this is not a client driver fault.
[m.szyprowski@samsung.com: replace is_swiotlb_allocated() with is_swiotlb_active(), per Catalin]
