Subject: [PATCH] p54: avoid accessing the data mapped to streaming DMA
Date:   Sun,  2 Aug 2020 21:29:49 +0800
Message-Id: <20200802132949.26788-1-baijiaju@tsinghua.edu.cn>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

In p54p_tx(), skb->data is mapped to streaming DMA on line 337:
  mapping = pci_map_single(..., skb->data, ...);

Then skb->data is accessed on line 349:
  desc->device_addr = ((struct p54_hdr *)skb->data)->req_id;

This access may cause data inconsistency between CPU cache and hardware.

To fix this problem, ((struct p54_hdr *)skb->data)->req_id is stored in
a local variable before DMA mapping, and then the driver accesses this
local variable instead of skb->data.
