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 c94b7f9bab22 ("nvme-hwmon: kmalloc the NVME SMART log buffer").

So I've resent it as a separate patch. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nvme/20220929224648.8997-4-Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru/ Changelog v3: - Convert to allocating the cmd-/resp-buffers instead of cache-aligning them. (@Jonathan) - Resubmit the patch separately from the original series. - Rebase onto the kernel 6.1-rc3 --- block/sed-opal.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
