Nicolin reports that swiotlb buffer allocations fail for an NVME device
behind an IOMMU using 64KiB pages. This is because we end up with a
minimum allocation alignment of 64KiB (for the IOMMU to map the buffer
safely) but a minimum DMA alignment mask corresponding to a 4KiB NVME
page (i.e. preserving the 4KiB page offset from the original allocation).
If the original address is not 4KiB-aligned, the allocation will fail
because swiotlb_search_pool_area() erroneously compares these unmasked
bits with the 64KiB-aligned candidate allocation.
Tweak swiotlb_search_pool_area() so that the DMA alignment mask is
reduced based on the required alignment of the allocation.

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.
