[ 1903.249775] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
[ 1903.255074] Rebooting in 1 seconds..
On analysis i found that error handling in mmc_init_queue during
allocation of bounce buffers is incomplete. In the exception case the
allocation of current bounce buffer fails and the previous bounce
buffer allocation succeeds. This later leads to exception in,
__blk_segment_map_sg while trying to access the bounce buffer.
The attached patch improves the error handling during allocation of
bounce buffers. The previous bounce buffer is allocated only if the
allocation of current bounce buffer succeeds.
Thank you,
Regards,
Bhuvanesh

Subject: [PATCH] mmc: queue:Improve error handling during allocation of
bounce buffers.
Allocation of previous bounce buffer in mmc_init_queue when the current
bounce buffer allocation fails was leading to a crash later in
__blk_segment_map_sg. Error handling is improved by allocating previous
bounce buffer only if the current bounce buffer allocation succeeds.
