This, however, poses two potential problems: (1) If the DMA transfer does not write to every byte in the buffer, then the unwritten bytes will contain stale data once the transfer has completed. (2) If the buffer has a virtual alias in userspace, then stale data may be visible via this alias during the period between performing the cache invalidation and the DMA writes landing in memory. Address both of these issues by cleaning (aka writing-back) the dirty lines in arch_sync_dma_for_device(DMA_FROM_DEVICE) instead of discarding them using invalidation.
