Subject: [PATCH] efidisk: pass buffers with higher alignment
|
|
|
|
Some devices report a IoAlign value of 2, however seem to require a
|
|
buffer with higher alignment.
|
|
|
|
The UEFI specification is saying: "IoAlign values of 0 and 1 mean that
|
|
the buffer can be placed anywhere in memory. Otherwise, IoAlign must
|
|
be a power of 2, and the requirement is that the start address of a
|
|
buffer must be evenly divisible by IoAlign with no remainder."
|
|
|
|
It seems that this got misinterpreted by some vendors assuming IoAlign
|
|
is 2^IoAlign. There is also such a hint in an example in earlier
|
|
versions of the Driver Writer's Guide:
|
|
ScsiPassThruMode.IoAlign = 2; // Data must be alligned on 4-byte boundary
|
|
|
|
However, it is unsafe to just blindly align buffers by 2^IoAlign, as
|
|
this would lead to an overflow for systems which use block size
|
|
alignment (e.g. 512 bytes, for example U-Boot).
|
|
|
|
Ontop of that, some devices seem to report no alignment requirements
|
|
but seem to read corrupt data or report read errors if the buffer is
|
|
not aligned.
|
|
|
|
Work around by using an alignment of at least BlockSize (typically 512
|
|
bytes) in any casea. Also make sure that IoAlign is still respected as
|
|
per UEFI specification if a higher alignment than block size is
|
|
requested.
|
|
|
|
Note: The problem has only noticed with compressed squashfs. It seems
|
|
that ext4 (and presumably other file system drivers) pass buffers with
|
|
a higher alignment already.
