So ... we could do this: +++ b/include/linux/types.h @@ -140,7 +140,7 @@ typedef u64 blkcnt_t; * so they don't care about the size of the actual bus addresses. */ #ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT -typedef u64 dma_addr_t; +typedef u64 __attribute__((aligned(sizeof(void *)))) dma_addr_t; #else typedef u32 dma_addr_t; #endif but I'm a little scared that this might have unintended consequences. And Jesper points out that a big-endian 64-bit dma_addr_t can impersonate a PageTail page, and we should solve that problem while we're at it. So I don't think we should do this, but thought I should mention it as a possibility.
