Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 1/2] dma-mapping: add __dma_from_device_group_begin()/end()
Date: Mon,  4 May 2026 20:15:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505001522.124823-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026050159-extinct-precision-0d22@gregkh>

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit ca085faabb42c31ee204235facc5a430cb9e78a9 ]

When a structure contains a buffer that DMA writes to alongside fields
that the CPU writes to, cache line sharing between the DMA buffer and
CPU-written fields can cause data corruption on non-cache-coherent
platforms.

Add __dma_from_device_group_begin()/end() annotations to ensure proper
alignment to prevent this:

struct my_device {
	spinlock_t lock1;
	__dma_from_device_group_begin();
	char dma_buffer1[16];
	char dma_buffer2[16];
	__dma_from_device_group_end();
	spinlock_t lock2;
};
