Subject: [PATCH v2 14/15] gpio: virtio: fix DMA alignment
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2026 03:23:45 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ba7e025a6c84aed012421468d83639e5dae982b0.1767601130.git.mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1767601130.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 not 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 platforms.

Fix by using __dma_from_device_group_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.
