The dmaengine buffer has some length alignment requirements that can differ from platform to platform. If the length alignment requirements are not met unexpected behavior like dropping of samples can occur. Currently these requirements are not reported and applications need to know the requirements of the platform by some out-of-band means. Add a new buffer attribute that reports the length alignment requirements called `length_align_bytes`. The reported length alignment is in bytes that means the buffer length alignment in sample sets depends on the number of enabled channels and the bytes per channel. Applications using this attribute to determine the buffer size requirements need to consider this.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
