Subject: [PATCH v2] MIPS: Alchemy: fix dbdma ring destruction memory debugcheck.
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 20:39:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1264534773-24909-1-git-send-email-manuel.lauss@gmail.com> (raw)

DBDMA descriptors need to be located at 32-byte aligned addresses;
however kmalloc in conjunction with the SLAB allocator and 
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLUB enabled doesn't deliver any.  The dbdma code works
around that by allocating a larger area and realigning the start
address within it.

When freeing a channel however this adjustment is not taken into
account which results in an oops:

Kernel bug detected[#1]:
[...]
Call Trace:
[<80186010>] cache_free_debugcheck+0x284/0x318
[<801869d8>] kfree+0xe8/0x2a0

[<80189018>] sys_close+0x9c/0xe4
[<801022a0>] stack_done+0x20/0x3c

Fix this by recording the address delivered by kmalloc() and using
it as parameter to kfree().

This fix is only necessary with the SLAB allocator and CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
enabled;  non-debug SLAB, SLUB do return nicely aligned addresses,
debug-enabled SLUB currently panics early in the boot process.

v2: slightly improved the patch rationale, thanks to David Daney.
