For swiotlb allocations >= PAGE_SIZE, the slab search historically
adjusted the stride to avoid checking unaligned slots. This had the
side-effect of aligning large mapping requests to PAGE_SIZE, but that
was broken by 0eee5ae102 ("swiotlb: fix slot alignment checks").
Since this alignment could be relied upon drivers, reinstate PAGE_SIZE
alignment for swiotlb mappings >= PAGE_SIZE.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
