kmalloc/__get_free_pages and SHMLBA

[Jamie Iles]

I'm writing a driver at the moment that mmap()'s a buffer into userspace and
then performs DMA from the kernel buffer into the device. If I allocate with
kmalloc()/__get_free_pages() is there anything that can be done to guarantee
that the allocation is aligned to SHMLBA or do I need to try overallocating
and do this myself?

The alternative is to use vmalloc_user() and use vmalloc_to_page() to get the
direct mapping addresses to perform the DMA mapping but I'd like to be able to
DMA the whole buffer without the need for scatterlists.
