From 0bef3c2dc7d0c8238330785c8f4504761b0e370b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 14:43:08 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] dma_alloc_from_coherent(): fix fallback to generic memory If bitmap_find_free_region() fails and DMA_MEMORY_EXCLUSIVE is not set, the function will fail to write anything to *ret and will return 1. This will cause dma_alloc_coherent() to return an uninitialised value, crashing the kernel, perhaps via DMA to a random address. Fix that by changing it to return zero in this case, so the caller will proceed to allocate the memory from the generic memory allocator.
