4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@lemote.com>
commit c2e8fbf908afd81ad502b567a6639598f92c9b9d upstream.
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").
