scsi fixes for non cache-coherent architectures (for 4.15 and stable)

scsi fixes for non cache-coherent architectures (for 4.15 and stable)

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi Martin,

this series fixes scsi and libsas operations on platforms with cache
incoherent dma operations.  Patch 2 and 3 are originally from Huacai Chen,
but I've modified patch two so that it doesn't require his
dma_get_cache_alignment() rework, which I'd rather get into the next
merge window after the required fixups, and which isn't suitable for
a stable backport.  Patch 1 is new from me and makes sure
dma_get_cache_alignment is always available.  As on of the dma-mapping
maintainers I'd be happy with it going in through the scsi tree.

[PATCH 1/3] dma-mapping: always provide dma_get_cache_alignment

[Christoph Hellwig]

Provide the dummy version of dma_get_cache_alignment that always returns 1
even if CONFIG_HAS_DMA is not set, so that drivers and subsystems can
use it without ifdefs.

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

[Christoph Hellwig]

From: Huacai Chen <chenhc-h23VmSynlr/QT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>

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.

[PATCH 3/3] libsas: align sata_device's rps_resp on a cacheline

[Christoph Hellwig]

From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@lemote.com>

The rps_resp buffer in ata_device is a DMA target, but it isn't
explicitly cacheline aligned. Due to this, adjacent fields can be
overwritten with stale data from memory on non-coherent architectures.
As a result, the kernel is sometimes unable to communicate with an
SATA device behind a SAS expander.

Fix this by ensuring that the rps_resp buffer is cacheline aligned.

This issue is similar to that fixed by Commit 84bda12af31f93 ("libata:
align ap->sector_buf") and Commit 4ee34ea3a12396f35b26 ("libata: Align
ata_device's id on a cacheline").

Applied to 4.15/scsi-fixes. Thank you!
