MIPS: Alchemy: Fix dbdma ring destruction memory debugcheck. DBDMA descriptors need to be located at 32-byte aligned addresses; however kmalloc in conjunction with the SLAB allocator and CONFIG_DEBUG_SLUB enabled doesn't deliver any. The dbdma code works around that by allocating a larger area and realigning the start address within it. When freeing a channel however this adjustment is not taken into account which results in an oops: Kernel bug detected[#1]: [...] Call Trace: [<80186010>] cache_free_debugcheck+0x284/0x318 [<801869d8>] kfree+0xe8/0x2a0 [<8010b31c>] au1xxx_dbdma_chan_free+0x2c/0x7c [<80388dc8>] au1x_pcm_dbdma_free+0x34/0x4c [<80388fa8>] au1xpsc_pcm_close+0x28/0x38 [<80383cb8>] soc_codec_close+0x14c/0x1cc [<8036dbb4>] snd_pcm_release_substream+0x60/0xac [<8036dc40>] snd_pcm_release+0x40/0xa0 [<8018c7a8>] __fput+0x11c/0x228 [<80188f60>] filp_close+0x7c/0x98 [<80189018>] sys_close+0x9c/0xe4 [<801022a0>] stack_done+0x20/0x3c Fix this by recording the address delivered by kmalloc() and using it as parameter to kfree(). This fix is only necessary with the SLAB allocator and CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB enabled; non-debug SLAB, SLUB do return nicely aligned addresses, debug-enabled SLUB currently panics early in the boot process.
