Subject: [PATCH] ARM: DMA: Fix kzalloc flags in __dma_alloc
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2016 11:12:26 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458267146-24451-1-git-send-email-acourbot@nvidia.com> (raw)
Commit 19e6e5e5392b ("ARM: 8547/1: dma-mapping: store buffer
information") allocates a structure meant for internal buffer management
with the GFP flags of the buffer itself. This can trigger the following
safeguard in the slab/slub allocator:
if (unlikely(flags & GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK)) {
pr_emerg("gfp: %u\n", flags & GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK);
BUG();
}
Fix this by allocating the structure with GFP_KERNEL, as it is meant to
be used by the kernel and not for DMA.
