vchiq_arm supports transfers less than one page and at arbitrary
alignment, using the dma-mapping API to perform its cache maintenance
(even though the VPU drives the DMA hardware). Read (DMA_FROM_DEVICE)
operations use cache invalidation for speed, falling back to
clean+invalidate on partial cache lines, with writes (DMA_TO_DEVICE)
using flushes.
If a read transfer has ends which aren't page-aligned, performing cache
maintenance as if they were whole pages can lead to memory corruption
since the partial cache lines at the ends (and any cache lines before or
after the transfer area) will be invalidated. This bug was masked until
the disabling of the cache flush in flush_dcache_page().
Honouring the requested transfer start- and end-points prevents the
corruption.

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.
