[PATCH V8 3/5] scsi: Align block queue to dma_get_cache_alignment()

From: Huacai Chen <hidden>
Date: 2017-10-17 08:05:10
Also in: linux-scsi, lkml, stable
Subsystem: scsi subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: "James E.J. Bottomley", "Martin K. Petersen", Linus Torvalds

In non-coherent DMA mode, kernel uses cache flushing operations to
maintain I/O coherency, so scsi's block queue should be aligned to
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN. 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.
