Subject: [Linux-ia64] Bug in sba_iommu.c (2.5.64)
Date: Tue, 01 Apr 2003 04:39:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590723705373@msgid-missing> (raw)
OK, thanks to some inspired debugging work by Matthew Chapman, we now
have the error. sba_map_sg() was passing the uninitialised dma
address from the sg-list to sba_map_single() instead of the virtual
address. This meant that the dma when it happened scribbled over
random memory causing an MCA later, or possibly caused an MCA immediately.
Patch against 2.5.64 appended.
