Use only a portion of the data buffer for DMA transfers, which is always 16-byte aligned. This makes the DMA buffer address 16-byte aligned and compensates for spurious hardware parity errors that may appear when the DMA buffer address is not 16-byte aligned. The data buffer is enlarged in order to accommodate any possible 16-byte alignment offset and changes the DMA code to only use a portion of the data buffer, which is 16-byte aligned. The symptom of the hardware issue is the same as the one addressed in v3.12-rc2-5-gbf41691 and manifests by transfers failing with EIO, with bit 9 being set in the ERRSTS register.

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.
