Linux kernel source tree
6c75dc94f2
In gsi_trans_pool_init_dma(), the total size of a pool of memory
used for DMA transactions is calculated. However the calculation is
done incorrectly.
For 4KB pages, this total size is currently always more than one
page, and as a result, the calculation produces a positive (though
incorrect) total size. The code still works in this case; we just
end up with fewer DMA pool entries than we intended.
Bjorn Andersson tested booting a kernel with 16KB pages, and hit a
null pointer derereference in sg_alloc_append_table_from_pages(),
descending from gsi_trans_pool_init_dma(). The cause of this was
that a 16KB total size was going to be allocated, and with 16KB
pages the order of that allocation is 0. The total_size calculation
yielded 0, which eventually led to the crash.
Correcting the total_size calculation fixes the problem.

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.
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.
