      ARM: 8814/1: mm: improve/fix ARM v7_dma_inv_range() unaligned address handling · a1208f6a
      Chris Cole authored
      This patch addresses possible memory corruption when
      v7_dma_inv_range(start_address, end_address) address parameters are not
      aligned to whole cache lines. This function issues "invalidate" cache
      management operations to all cache lines from start_address (inclusive)
      to end_address (exclusive). When start_address and/or end_address are
      not aligned, the start and/or end cache lines are first issued "clean &
      invalidate" operation. The assumption is this is done to ensure that any
      dirty data addresses outside the address range (but part of the first or
      last cache lines) are cleaned/flushed so that data is not lost, which
      could happen if just an invalidate is issued.
      
      The problem is that these first/last partial cache lines are issued
      "clean & invalidate" and then "invalidate". This second "invalidate" is
      not required and worse can cause "lost" writes to addresses outside the
      address range but part of the cache line. If another component writes to
      its part of the cache line between the "clean & invalidate" and
      "invalidate" operations, the write can get lost. This fix is to remove
      the extra "invalidate" operation when unaligned addressed are used.
      
      A kernel module is available that has a stress test to reproduce the
      issue and a unit test of the updated v7_dma_inv_range(). It can be
      downloaded from
      http://ftp.sageembedded.com/outgoing/linux/cache-test-20181107.tgz.
      
      v7_dma_inv_range() is call by dmac_[un]map_area(addr, len, direction)
      when the direction is DMA_FROM_DEVICE. One can (I believe) successfully
      argue that DMA from a device to main memory should use buffers aligned
      to cache line size, because the "clean & invalidate" might overwrite
      data that the device just wrote using DMA. But if a driver does use
      unaligned buffers, at least this fix will prevent memory corruption
      outside the buffer.
