4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Alexander Graf <agraf@xxxxxxx> commit 524dabe1c68e0bca25ce7b108099e5d89472a101 upstream. Commit b67a8b29df introduced logic to skip swiotlb allocation when all memory is DMA accessible anyway. While this is a great idea, __dma_alloc still calls swiotlb code unconditionally to allocate memory when there is no CMA memory available. The swiotlb code is called to ensure that we at least try get_free_pages(). Without initialization, swiotlb allocation code tries to access io_tlb_list which is NULL. That results in a stack trace like this: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 [...] [<ffff00000845b908>] swiotlb_tbl_map_single+0xd0/0x2b0 [<ffff00000845be94>] swiotlb_alloc_coherent+0x10c/0x198 [<ffff000008099dc0>] __dma_alloc+0x68/0x1a8 [<ffff000000a1b410>] drm_gem_cma_create+0x98/0x108 [drm] [<ffff000000abcaac>] drm_fbdev_cma_create_with_funcs+0xbc/0x368 [drm_kms_helper] [<ffff000000abcd84>] drm_fbdev_cma_create+0x2c/0x40 [drm_kms_helper] [<ffff000000abc040>] drm_fb_helper_initial_config+0x238/0x410 [drm_kms_helper] [<ffff000000abce88>] drm_fbdev_cma_init_with_funcs+0x98/0x160 [drm_kms_helper] [<ffff000000abcf90>] drm_fbdev_cma_init+0x40/0x58 [drm_kms_helper] [<ffff000000b47980>] vc4_kms_load+0x90/0xf0 [vc4] [<ffff000000b46a94>] vc4_drm_bind+0xec/0x168 [vc4] [...] Thankfully swiotlb code just learned how to not do allocations with the FORCE_NO option. This patch configures the swiotlb code to use that if we decide not to initialize the swiotlb framework.
