Thanks, Herbert!  I'd rather add flush_dcache_page()
to the below place so that we can avoid one redundant
flush for ENOSPC/ENOMEM case:

        if (!ret) {
                if (!req->dst) {
                        req->dst = sgl_alloc(req->dlen, GFP_ATOMIC, NULL);
                        if (!req->dst) {
                                ret = -ENOMEM;
                                goto out;
                        }
                } else if (req->dlen > dlen) {
                        ret = -ENOSPC;
                        goto out;
                }
                if (dst == scratch->dst) {
                        scatterwalk_map_and_copy(scratch->dst, req->dst, 0,
                                                 req->dlen, 1);
                } else {
+                        flush_dcache_page(sg_page(req->dst));
                }
        }
out:
        if (src != scratch->src)
                kunmap_local(src);
        if (dst != scratch->dst)
                kunmap_local(dst);
