[PATCH 4/5] GenWQE: Fix multithreading problems

From: Frank Haverkamp
Date: Thu Mar 20 2014 - 10:12:36 EST


When being used in a multithreaded application there were problems
with memory pages/cachelines accessed by multiple threads/cpus at the
same time, while doing DMA transfers to/from those. To avoid such
situations this fix is creating a copy of the first and the last page
if it is not fully used. The data is copied from user-space into those
pages and results are copied back when the DDCB-request is
successfully finished.
