dma_map_single doesn't get the proper DMA address for vmalloced area,
so disable DMA in this case.

Please see previous bugreport here:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=152337752611812&w=2
Unfortunately issue was noticed after v4.16 come out and v4.17-rc1 was
about to released. Thus safe change was introduced.

Which is not a big surprise as vmalloc will allocate contiguous virtual
memory (which might corresponds to non-contiguous physical memory). Even
if you somehow get the physical address of the start of the vmalloced
buffer, you don't really know how long that chunk is and where the
buffer continues in physical memory.
Creating sg_list of the vmalloced buffer should be possible also by
walking the virt memory and get the pages with vmalloc_to_page().
I don't think there is a generic vmalloc_to_sg(), one can be implemented.

That's not true, it returns the right DMA (physical) address, it's just
that:
1/ the memory location is not necessarily physically contiguous
2/ in case your arch is VIVT ot VIPT, there may be several entries in
the cache pointing to the same physical location, and the cache
maintenance operations done by dma_map_single() will only operate on
one of these entries.

The fix looks good though. Can you rephrase your commit message to make
it clearer.
Thanks,
Boris
Hi Boris,

To be honest I used log message from commit dcf08227e964 which is dealing
with the same issue.

Well, there are few things suspicious here: DMA is used to transfer data
to system memory from bufferram which is 3kB in size. Nikolaus reported
Internal error: Oops: 805 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
PC is at v7_dma_inv_range+0x30/0x48
LR is at dma_cache_maint_page+0xd0/0xe0
but I do not see how could it happen if it would be caused by 1/ or 2/ above.
Cache issue would cause data inconsistencies which should be caught by upper
MTD layers.
And given that replacing dma_map_single with dma_map_page done in first
version of patch also fixed oops, it is not caused by 1/
CPU is OMAP3630 based on Cortex-A8, D-cache is often described as PIPT but
seems to be VIPT with built-in alias detection mechanism - anyone with
better knowledge will eventually correct me, thank you.

Sure, I'd like to, but I do not know what's root cause yet :)

Okay, looks like I was wrong. The problem is caused by the
virt_to_page() call done in dma_map_single_attrs() which expects a
valid virtual address (one that is present in the identity mapping). If
you pass a vmalloc address to it, the conversion is broken and that's
probably why you end up with a NULL pointer exception.
Maybe you should just say that dma_map_single() does not work for
vmalloc-ed buffers instead of saying that it does not get the right DMA
address.
