Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Fix swiotlb fallback allocation
Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 12:46:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1484567193-71258-1-git-send-email-agraf@suse.de> (raw)

Commit b67a8b29df introduced logic to skip swiotlb allocation when all memory
is DMA accessible anyway.

While this is a great idea, __dma_alloc still calls swiotlb code unconditionally
to allocate memory when there is no CMA memory available. The swiotlb code is
called to ensure that we at least try get_free_pages().

Without initialization, swiotlb allocation code tries to access io_tlb_list
which is NULL. That results in a stack trace like this:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
  [...]

  [<ffff000000b46a94>] vc4_drm_bind+0xec/0x168 [vc4]
  [...]

Thankfully swiotlb code just learned how to not do allocations with the FORCE_NO
option. This patch configures the swiotlb code to use that if we decide not to
initialize the swiotlb framework.

Fixes: b67a8b29df ("arm64: mm: only initialize swiotlb when necessary")
