core-api/dma-api-howto.rst states the following properties of
dma_alloc_coherent():
| The CPU virtual address and the DMA address are both guaranteed to
| be aligned to the smallest PAGE_SIZE order which is greater than or
| equal to the requested size.
However, swiotlb_alloc() passes zero for the 'alloc_align_mask'
parameter of swiotlb_find_slots() and so this property is not upheld.
Instead, allocations larger than a page are aligned to PAGE_SIZE,
Calculate the mask corresponding to the page order suitable for holding
the allocation and pass that to swiotlb_find_slots().
Fixes: e81e99bacc ("swiotlb: Support aligned swiotlb buffers")

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.
