Subject: [PATCH 5.10 04/57] net: octeontx2: Make sure the buffer is 128 byte aligned

From: Kevin Hao <[email protected]>

commit db2805150a0f27c00ad286a29109397a7723adad upstream.

The octeontx2 hardware needs the buffer to be 128 byte aligned.
But in the current implementation of napi_alloc_frag(), it can't
guarantee the return address is 128 byte aligned even the request size
is a multiple of 128 bytes, so we have to request an extra 128 bytes and
use the PTR_ALIGN() to make sure that the buffer is aligned correctly.

So we allocate a buffer, then change it, and then pass modified
pointer to the page_frag_free(buf); in the error path. That... can't
be right, right?

BTW otx2_alloc_rbuf and __otx2_alloc_rbuf should probably return s64,
as they return negative error code...

Best regards,

It doesn't matter. It will work as far as the address we passed to page_frag_free()
is in the range of buf ~ (buf + rbsize).

It does seem buggy to return dma_addr_t for these two functions, I will cook up
a patch to fix this issue.

Thanks,
Kevin
