[PATCH v2] dma-debug: Check for drivers mapping invalid addresses in dma_map_single()

From: Stephen Boyd
Date: Mon Oct 01 2018 - 17:53:42 EST


I recently debugged a DMA mapping oops where a driver was trying to map
a buffer returned from request_firmware() with dma_map_single(). Memory
returned from request_firmware() is mapped into the vmalloc region and
this isn't a valid region to map with dma_map_single() per the DMA
documentation's "What memory is DMA'able?" section.

Unfortunately, we don't really check that in the DMA debugging code, so
enabling DMA debugging doesn't help catch this problem. Let's add a new
DMA debug function to check for a vmalloc address or an invalid virtual
address and print a warning if this happens. This makes it a little
easier to debug these sorts of problems, instead of seeing odd behavior
or crashes when drivers attempt to map the vmalloc space for DMA.

Changes from v1:
* Update code to check for invalid virtual address too
* Rename function to debug_dma_map_single()
