I doubt this claim is valid. We do the sync properly, taking the page
corresponding to the "offset" wrapping it around in "page" index.

Here is the code :



void tmc_sg_table_sync_data_range(struct tmc_sg_table *table,
                                   u64 offset, u64 size)
{
         int i, index, start;
         int npages = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, PAGE_SIZE);
         struct device *real_dev = table->dev->parent;
         struct tmc_pages *data = &table->data_pages;

         start = offset >> PAGE_SHIFT;
         for (i = start; i < (start + npages); i++) {
                 index = i % data->nr_pages;
                 dma_sync_single_for_cpu(real_dev, data->daddrs[index],
                                         PAGE_SIZE, DMA_FROM_DEVICE);
         }
}


See that the npages accounts for the "size" requested and we wrap the
"index" by the total number of pages in the buffer and pick the right
page.

So, I think this fix is not needed.

Cheers
Suzuki
