Linux kernel DMA mapping fix for QuickAssist Technology prevents overlapping mappings; in place uses BIDIRECTIONAL, others use the appropriate directions.

"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013570 advisory.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    crypto: qat - fix DMA transfer direction

    When CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is selected, while running the crypto self
    test on the QAT crypto algorithms, the function add_dma_entry() reports
    a warning similar to the one below, saying that overlapping mappings
    are not supported. This occurs in tests where the input and the output
    scatter list point to the same buffers (i.e. two different scatter lists
    which point to the same chunks of memory).

    The logic that implements the mapping uses the flag DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL
    for both the input and the output scatter lists which leads to
    overlapped write mappings. These are not supported by the DMA layer.

    Fix by specifying the correct DMA transfer directions when mapping
    buffers. For in-place operations where the input scatter list
    matches the output scatter list, buffers are mapped once with
    DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL, otherwise input buffers are mapped using the flag
    DMA_TO_DEVICE and output buffers are mapped with DMA_FROM_DEVICE.
    Overlapping a read mapping with a write mapping is a valid case in
    dma-coherent devices like QAT.
    The function that frees and unmaps the buffers, qat_alg_free_bufl()
    has been changed accordingly to the changes to the mapping function.
