The mmc_read_ssr() function results in DMA to the raw_ssr member of
struct mmc_card, which is not guaranteed to be cache line aligned & thus
might not meet the requirements set out in Documentation/DMA-API.txt:
Warnings: Memory coherency operates at a granularity called the cache
line width. In order for memory mapped by this API to operate
correctly, the mapped region must begin exactly on a cache line
boundary and end exactly on one (to prevent two separately mapped
regions from sharing a single cache line). Since the cache line size
may not be known at compile time, the API will not enforce this
requirement. Therefore, it is recommended that driver writers who
don't take special care to determine the cache line size at run time
only map virtual regions that begin and end on page boundaries (which
are guaranteed also to be cache line boundaries).
On some systems where DMA is non-coherent this can lead to us losing
data that shares cache lines with the raw_ssr array.
Fix this by kmalloc'ing a temporary buffer to perform DMA into. kmalloc
will ensure the buffer is suitably aligned, allowing the DMA to be
performed without any loss of data.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
