The quilt patch titled Subject: dma-debug: don't report false positives with DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was dma-debug-dont-report-false-positives-with-dma_bounce_unaligned_kmalloc.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

------------------------------------------------------ From: Marek Szyprowski m.szyprowski@samsung.com Subject: dma-debug: don't report false positives with DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2025 16:15:08 +0200

Commit 370645f41e6e ("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.
