It would be good to add KASAN checks to the DMA code that issues
transfers. This is another case where a silent memory corruption
causes dozens of assorted crashes all over the kernel. If we add
checks, KASAN would pinpoint the exact stack that issues the bad
command. This may be the simplest way to debug this bug as well. I've
filed https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198661 for this.
