Hi,

On ROSA Linux with kernel 3.10.21 with DMA debug options enabled, the 
kernel sometimes issues a warning about DMA pool corruption (see the log 
below).

That happens sometimes, when the system boots or resumes from 
hibernation with Samson C01U USB microphone attached.

The affected DMA pool is 'uhci->td_pool', uhci_alloc_td() from 
drivers/usb/host/uhci-hcd.c makes the relevant dma_pool_alloc() calls.

Any ideas about how to find what causes this and how to fix it?

Here is the relevant part of the system log:
----------------------------

----------------------------

0xa7 is POOL_POISON_FREED. The memory pages to be allocated from the 
pool should be filled with such bytes.

Each time I observed this problem, the first 8 bytes of the listed 
memory area were overwritten, with different data each time.

Regards,
Eugene

This is not an easy sort of thing to track down...

It kind of looks like a hardware bug.  Still, it's hard to say.

Can you test the current 3.13-rc kernel?  There have been a few recent 
changes in this area that might have an effect.

I tested 3.13-rc3 - the problem has not shown up so far.
