commit 823353b7cf0ea9dfb09f5181d5fb2825d727200b upstream. When allocating pages from a restricted DMA pool in swiotlb_alloc(), the buffer address is blindly converted to a 'struct page *' that is returned to the caller. In the unlikely event of an allocation bug, page-unaligned addresses are not detected and slots can silently be double-allocated. Add a simple check of the buffer alignment in swiotlb_alloc() to make debugging a little easier if something has gone wonky.

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.
