In accordance with [1] the DMA-able memory buffers must be cacheline-aligned otherwise the cache writing-back and invalidation performed during the mapping may cause the adjacent data being lost. It's specifically required for the DMA-noncoherent platforms [2]. Seeing the opal_dev.{cmd,resp} buffers are implicitly used for DMAs in the NVME and SCSI/SD drivers in framework of the nvme_sec_submit() and sd_sec_submit() methods respectively they must be cacheline-aligned to prevent the denoted problem. One of the option to guarantee that is to kmalloc the buffers [2]. Let's explicitly allocate them then instead of embedding into the opal_dev structure instance. Note this fix was inspired by the commit |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
