octeontx2 crypto driver allocates memory using kmalloc/kzalloc, and uses this memory for dma (does dma_map_single()). It assumes that kmalloc/kzalloc will return 128-byte aligned address. But kmalloc/kzalloc returns 8-byte aligned address after below changes: "9382bc44b5f5 arm64: allow kmalloc() caches aligned to the smaller cache_line_size() Memory allocated are used for following purpose: - Input data or scatter list address - 8-Byte alignment - Output data or gather list address - 8-Byte alignment - Completion address - 32-Byte alignment. This patch ensures all addresses are aligned as mentioned above.

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 reStructuredText 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.
