Subject[PATCH 4.9 014/148] scsi: use dma_get_cache_alignment() as minimum DMA alignment
Date
4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@lemote.com>

commit 90addc6b3c9cda0146fbd62a08e234c2b224a80c upstream.

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.
