Should this be cc'd to stable@ as well?
Not sure, in most of the cases this is "just" a warning fix. Let the
maintainer decide:
Warnings can cause reboots as the majority of the linux systems in the
world run panic-on-warn, so yes, it should be backported.
Although in this particular case, running DMA_API_DEBUG=y on production
systems is a pretty inadvisable thing to do anyway ;)
However I'm glad I looked, since I think this also points to a bug in
dma_alloc_noncontiguous() - it's one thing to blame a driver for trying
to map a malformed scatterlist of its own, but if the DMA API is
generating one internally without respecting the device's (claimed)
parameters, then that's on us. I'll have a look into it...
Thanks,
Robin.
