Explicit alignment and page alignment are used only to calculate the stride, not when checking actual slot physical address. Originally, only page alignment was implemented, and that worked, because the whole SWIOTLB is allocated on a page boundary, so aligning the start index was sufficient to ensure a page-aligned slot. When commit1f221a0d0d("swiotlb: respect min_align_mask") added support for min_align_mask, the index could be incremented in the search loop, potentially finding an unaligned slot if minimum device alignment is between IO_TLB_SIZE and PAGE_SIZE. The bug could go unnoticed, because the slot size is 2 KiB, and the most common page size is 4 KiB, so there is no alignment value in between. IIUC the intention has been to find a slot that conforms to all alignment constraints: device minimum alignment, an explicit alignment (given as function parameter) and optionally page alignment (if allocation size is >= PAGE_SIZE). The most restrictive mask can be trivially computed with logical AND. The rest can stay.

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.
