Marek Szyprowski 85d65fb071 dma-debug: don't report false positives with DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC 
commit 03521c892b upstream.

Commit 370645f41e ("dma-mapping: force bouncing if the kmalloc() size is
not cache-line-aligned") introduced DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC feature
and permitted architecture specific code configure kmalloc slabs with
sizes smaller than the value of dma_get_cache_alignment().

When that feature is enabled, the physical address of some small
kmalloc()-ed buffers might be not aligned to the CPU cachelines, thus not
really suitable for typical DMA.  To properly handle that case a SWIOTLB
buffer bouncing is used, so no CPU cache corruption occurs.  When that
happens, there is no point reporting a false-positive DMA-API warning that
the buffer is not properly aligned, as this is not a client driver fault.

[m.szyprowski@samsung.com: replace is_swiotlb_allocated() with is_swiotlb_active(), per Catalin]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
