If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 62a7f368ffbc13d9aedfdd7aeae711b177db69ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2015 11:45:02 +0200 Subject: mmc: sdhci: fix low memory corruption From: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> commit 62a7f368ffbc13d9aedfdd7aeae711b177db69ac upstream. When dma mapping (dma_map_sg) fails in sdhci_pre_dma_transfer, -EINVAL is returned. There are 3 callers of sdhci_pre_dma_transfer: * sdhci_pre_req and sdhci_adma_table_pre: handle negative return * sdhci_prepare_data: handles 0 (error) and "else" (good) only sdhci_prepare_data is therefore broken. When it receives -EINVAL from sdhci_pre_dma_transfer, it assumes 1 sg mapping was mapped. Later, this non-existent mapping with address 0 is kmap'ped and written to: Corrupted low memory at ffff880000001000 (1000 phys) = 22b7d67df2f6d1cf Corrupted low memory at ffff880000001008 (1008 phys) = 63848a5216b7dd95 Corrupted low memory at ffff880000001010 (1010 phys) = 330eb7ddef39e427 Corrupted low memory at ffff880000001018 (1018 phys) = 8017ac7295039bda Corrupted low memory at ffff880000001020 (1020 phys) = 8ce039eac119074f ... So teach sdhci_prepare_data to understand negative return values from sdhci_pre_dma_transfer and disable DMA in that case, as well as for zero. It was introduced in 348487cb28e66b032bae1b38424d81bf5b444408 (mmc: sdhci: use pipeline mmc requests to improve performance). The commit seems to be suspicious also by assigning host->sg_count both in sdhci_pre_dma_transfer and sdhci_adma_table_pre.
