4.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Lucas Stach <l.stach@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ebb853b1bd5f659b92c71dc6a9de44cfc37c78c0 upstream. This reverts commit fe5b85c656bc. The SDMA engine needs the descriptors to be contiguous in memory. As the dma pool API is only able to provide a single descriptor per alloc invocation there is no guarantee that multiple descriptors satisfy this requirement. Also the code in question is broken as it only allocates memory for a single descriptor, without looking at the number of descriptors required for the transfer, leading to out-of-bounds accesses when the descriptors are written.
