I don't think such a change is correct, since we want to allow the
DMA min_align_mask to work if it is set to 0x3FF or 0x1FF or
something else smaller than IO_TLB_SIZE - 1.
Petr's new offset calculation in swiotlb_tbl_map_single() is this:
offset = orig_addr & dma_get_min_align_mask(dev) &
(alloc_align_mask | (IO_TLB_SIZE - 1));
In the normal stream mapping case, where alloc_align_mask is
zero, Petr's new statement is equivalent to swiotlb_align_offset().
And I think it needs to continue to be equivalent so that
swiotlb_search_pool_area(), swiotlb_bounce() and
swiotlb_release_slots() calculate the same offset as
swiotlb_tbl_map_single() uses after it separately processes
the padding slots.
Perhaps a better approach to maintaining the equivalence is
to modify swiotlb_align_offset() to be Petr's new calculation,
with alloc_align_mask passed as an argument.
swiotlb_search_pool_area(), swiotlb_bounce(), and
swiotlb_release_slots() would all pass 0 as the alloc_align_mask
argument.
