The patch titled Subject: dma-mapping: avoid oops when parameter cpu_addr is null has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was dma-mapping-to-avoid-oops-when-parameter-cpu_addr-is-null.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: dma-mapping: avoid oops when parameter cpu_addr is null To keep consistent with kfree, which tolerate ptr is NULL. We do this because sometimes we may use goto statement, so that success and failure case can share parts of the code. But unfortunately, dma_free_coherent called with parameter cpu_addr is null will cause oops, such as showed below: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffffc020d3b2b8 pgd = ffffffc083a61000 [ffffffc020d3b2b8] *pgd=0000000000000000, *pud=0000000000000000 CPU: 4 PID: 1489 Comm: malloc_dma_1 Tainted: G O 4.1.12 #1 Hardware name: ARM64 (DT) task: ffffffc00d7d26c0 ti: ffffffc0837fc000 task.ti: ffffffc0837fc000 PC is at __dma_free_coherent.isra.10+0x74/0xc8 LR is at __dma_free+0x9c/0xb0 pc : [<ffffffc000214d10>] lr : [<ffffffc000214e00>] pstate: 80000145 sp : ffffffc0837ff700 x29: ffffffc0837ff700 x28: 0000000000000000 x27: 0000000000000000 x26: ffffffffffffffff x25: ffffffc000d1b1d0 x24: ffffffffffffffff x23: 0000000000a00000 x22: ffffffbfff5fffff x21: 0000000000100000 x20: ffffffc2e21f7010 x19: ffffffffffffffff x18: 0000000000000000 x17: 0000007f9360a2b0 x16: ffffffc000541040 x15: ffffffffffffffff x14: ffffffffffffffff x13: ffffffffffffffff x12: 0000000000000001 x11: 0000000000000068 x10: 0000000000000040 x9 : ffffffc000214e00 x8 : ffffffc2e54586b0 x7 : 0000000000000000 x6 : 0000000000000004 x5 : ffffffc000214d64 x4 : 0000000000000000 x3 : 0000000003ffffff x2 : 00000003ffffffff x1 : 000fffffffffffff x0 : ffffffc000d3b2c0 Process malloc_dma_1 (pid: 1489, stack limit = 0xffffffc0837fc020) Stack: (0xffffffc0837ff700 to 0xffffffc083800000) f700: ffffffc0837ff730 ffffffc000214e00 0000000000100000 0000000000000000 f720: ffffffc2e21f7010 ffffffc0837ff7d0 ffffffc0837ff770 ffffffbffc1d6134 f740: ffffffc2e21f7010 00000000000001a0 0000000000000064 ffffffc0837ff7d0 f760: ffffffc000c9fa20 ffffffc0837ffaf0 ffffffc0837ffe10 ffffffc000239b0c f780: ffffffc00d54a280 ffffffc000d1ef58 ffffffc000957163 ffffffc2e21f7000 [...] Call trace: [<ffffffc000214d10>] __dma_free_coherent.isra.10+0x74/0xc8 [<ffffffc000214e00>] __dma_free+0x9c/0xb0 [<ffffffbffc1d6134>] malloc_dma+0x104/0x158 [dma_alloc_coherent_mtmalloc] [<ffffffc000239b0c>] kthread+0xec/0xfc Signed-off-by: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/dma-mapping.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN include/linux/dma-mapping.h~dma-mapping-to-avoid-oops-when-parameter-cpu_addr-is-null include/linux/dma-mapping.h --- a/include/linux/dma-mapping.h~dma-mapping-to-avoid-oops-when-parameter-cpu_addr-is-null +++ a/include/linux/dma-mapping.h @@ -386,7 +386,7 @@ static inline void dma_free_attrs(struct if (dma_release_from_coherent(dev, get_order(size), cpu_addr)) return; - if (!ops->free) + if (!ops->free || !cpu_addr) return; debug_dma_free_coherent(dev, size, cpu_addr, dma_handle); _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from thunder.leizhen@xxxxxxxxxx are -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
