Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] staging: iio: adc: ad7816: Use DMA-safe buffer for SPI read
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 14:04:56 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911110456.24873-3-abdelnasserhussein11@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911110456.24873-1-abdelnasserhussein11@gmail.com>
Stack buffers are unsafe for DMA with VMAP_STACK enabled because
they are not physically contiguous and can share cache lines. This
causes data corruption.
Fix this by using a dedicated rx_buf aligned with IIO_DMA_MINALIGN
in the device state structure to ensure cache coherency.
Fixes: 7024425db64a ("staging: iio: adc: new driver for AD7816 devices")
