Linux kernel source tree
99c65fa7c5
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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
