Subject: S3C64XX DMA: GFP_KERNEL in irq context
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:46:24 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1b68c6790909091846j74440728i6cb092c62336c0b6@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
s3c2410_dma_enqueue is called from dma_bufferdone in I2S driver,
which in turn is called from DMA irq handler.
In that situation s3c2410_dma_enqueue calls kzalloc with GFP_KERNEL flag.
Not sure, if we shud change s3c2410_dma_enqueue itself or the I2S
cpu-drivers to call it from scheduled work after the dma_bufferdone
callback.
For the time being i am using .......
diff --git a/arch/arm/plat-s3c64xx/dma.c b/arch/arm/plat-s3c64xx/dma.c
--- a/arch/arm/plat-s3c64xx/dma.c
+++ b/arch/arm/plat-s3c64xx/dma.c
if (!chan)
return -EINVAL;
- buff = kzalloc(sizeof(struct s3c64xx_dma_buff), GFP_KERNEL);
+ buff = kzalloc(sizeof(struct s3c64xx_dma_buff), GFP_ATOMIC);
if (!buff) {
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: no memory for buffer\n", __func__);
return -ENOMEM;
}
- lli = dma_pool_alloc(dma_pool, GFP_KERNEL, &buff->lli_dma);
+ lli = dma_pool_alloc(dma_pool, GFP_ATOMIC, &buff->lli_dma);
if (!lli) {
printk(KERN_ERR "%s: no memory for lli\n", __func__);
ret = -ENOMEM;
