Subject: [PATCH] Fix strange panic message selection logic when swiotlb fills up
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:36:12 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A5B8CAC.3060906@redhat.com> (raw)

swiotlb_full in lib/swiotlb.c contains the following code snippet to produce a panic when the software iotlb is too full to handle a new allocation:

	if (size > io_tlb_overflow && do_panic) {
		if (dir == DMA_FROM_DEVICE || dir == DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL)
			panic("DMA: Memory would be corrupted\n");
		if (dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE || dir == DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL)
			panic("DMA: Random memory would be DMAed\n");
	}

Note the path when dir == DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL. The first panic() will be called always, yet the second if statement still checks for DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL. Unless we intend to panic twice, this is somewhat confusing.

This patch adds a third, separate error for DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL to make things a bit clearer.
