Subject: [PATCH #upstream-fixes 1/2] libata: align ap->sector_buf
Date: Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:53:26 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49ABAC96.3060109@kernel.org> (raw)
ap->sector_buf is used as DMA target and should at least be aligned on
cacheline. This caused problems on some embedded machines.
