This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio: commom: st_sensors: ensure proper DMA alignment
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.
From 862cf85fef85becc55a173387527adb4f076fab0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nuno Sa nuno.sa@analog.com Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2024 10:16:47 +0100 Subject: iio: commom: st_sensors: ensure proper DMA alignment
Aligning the buffer to the L1 cache is not sufficient in some platforms as they might have larger cacheline sizes for caches after L1 and thus, we can't guarantee DMA safety.
That was the whole reason to introduce IIO_DMA_MINALIGN in [1]. Do the same for st_sensors common buffer.
While at it, moved the odr_lock before buffer_data as we definitely don't want any other data to share a cacheline with the buffer.
