Subject: [PATCH RFC 14/13] gpio: virtio: fix DMA alignment
Date: Tue, 30 Dec 2025 11:40:28 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6f2f2a7a74141fa3ad92e001ee276c01ffe9ae49.1767112757.git.mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1767089672.git.mst@redhat.com>

The res and ires buffers in struct virtio_gpio_line and struct
vgpio_irq_line respectively are used for DMA_FROM_DEVICE via virtqueue_add_sgs().
However, within these structs, even though these elements are tagged
as ____cacheline_aligned, adjacent struct elements
can share DMA cachelines on platforms where ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN >
L1_CACHE_BYTES (e.g., arm64 with 128-byte DMA alignment but 64-byte
cache lines).

The existing ____cacheline_aligned annotation aligns to L1_CACHE_BYTES
which is now always sufficient for DMA alignment. For example,
with L1_CACHE_BYTES = 32 and ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN = 128
  - irq_lines[0].ires at offset 128
  - irq_lines[1].type at offset 192
both in same 128-byte DMA cacheline [128-256)

When the device writes to irq_lines[0].ires and the CPU concurrently
modifies one of irq_lines[1].type/disabled/masked/queued flags,
corruption can occur on non-cache-coherent platform.

Fix by using __dma_from_device_aligned_begin/end annotations on the
DMA buffers. Drop ____cacheline_aligned - it's not required to isolate
request and response, and keeping them would increase the memory cost.
