Commit296e46db00("MIPS: Don't unnecessarily include kmalloc.h into <asm/cache.h>.") claimed that the inclusion of the machine's kmalloc.h from asm/cache.h is unnecessary, but this is not true. Without including kmalloc.h we don't get a definition for ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, which means we no longer suitably align DMA. Further to this the definition of ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN provided by linux/slab.h ends up being set to the alignment of an unsigned long long value rather than to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, which means that buffers allocated using kmalloc may no longer be safely aligned for use with DMA. Fix this by re-adding the include of kmalloc.h in asm/cache.h. This reverts commit296e46db00("MIPS: Don't unnecessarily include kmalloc.h into <asm/cache.h>.")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
