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

From: Huacai Chen
Date: Tue Oct 17 2017 - 04:05:21 EST


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.
