mainlining shenanigans
188775181b
At least some JMicron controllers issue buggy oversized DMA reads when fetching context descriptors, always fetching 0x20 bytes at once for descriptors which are only 0x10 bytes long. This is often harmless, but can cause page faults on modern systems with IOMMUs: DMAR: [DMA Read] Request device [05:00.0] fault addr fff56000 [fault reason 06] PTE Read access is not set firewire_ohci 0000:05:00.0: DMA context IT0 has stopped, error code: evt_descriptor_read This works around the problem by always leaving 0x10 padding bytes at the end of descriptor buffer pages, which should be harmless to do unconditionally for controllers in case others have the same behavior.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
