[PATCH 5.18 003/181] ALSA: memalloc: Drop x86-specific hack for WC allocations

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 27 2022 - 07:46:05 EST


From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit 9882d63bea14c8b3ed2c9360b9ab9f0e2f64ae2b upstream.

The recent report for a crash on Haswell machines implied that the
x86-specific (rather hackish) implementation for write-cache memory
buffer allocation in ALSA core is buggy with the recent kernel in some
corner cases. This patch drops the x86-specific implementation and
uses the standard dma_alloc_wc() & co generically for avoiding the bug
and also for simplification.
