Martin, Now i am not sure whether NFC driver leads to kernel panic when
calling kmem_cache_alloc_trace.
thank you for confirming that it works for you on GXL
I'm not sure that this is a NFC driver problem.
after enabling CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED in my kernel config the
crash moves. it's now crashing in slub.c's kfree() at
BUG_ON(!PageCompound(page));
I added some debug prints in meson_nfc_read_buf() to get some details
about the info buffer before the crash,
format is: meson_nfc_read_buf <virtual address> <physical address>
during my first test three different addresses are used:
- meson_nfc_read_buf e9e6c640 0x29e6c640 (works fine)
- meson_nfc_read_buf e9e6c680 0x29e6c680 (works fine)
- meson_nfc_read_buf ee39a34b 0x2e39a34b (crashes during kfree)
so I tried playing around with the allocation size (see the attached
patch) and changed it to:
kzalloc(PER_INFO_BYTE + 64, GFP_KERNEL)
this results in the following addresses being used:
- meson_nfc_read_buf e9ea4280 0x29ea4280 (works fine)
- meson_nfc_read_buf e9ea4300 0x29ea4300 (works fine)
(there is no crash anymore)
Liang, are there any special requirements on the "info address" like
the alignment?
It must be 4 bytes alignment. i have met it previously when debugging
NFC driver on AXG platform, but it is not specified on spec. Now i am
confused that how to get the no aligned address "xe39a34b" when using
kmalloc; i think it should return the aligned address. doesn't it?
also do you know why the PER_INFO_BYTE buffer is allocated dynamically
in meson_nfc_read_buf() instead of allocating it at initialization?
I'm not saying that it should be changed! I'm curious because there's
per-meson_nfc_nand_chip info and data buffers which are allocated at
initialization time.
NAND scan or initialization is divided into three stages:
nand_scan_ident->nand_attach->nand_scan_tail. info and data buffer which
depend on the result of nand_scan_ident are allocated on nand_attach; so
nand_scan_ident can not use the info buffer on meson_nfc_nand_chip.
Allocating a fixed size info buffer before nand_scan_ident and attach it
on the struct meson_nfc; Or considering not use dma for reading data
less than 8 bytes. Both can reduce kmalloc and kfree calling. Thanks.
