The code refactoring by commit 0176adb00406 ("swiotlb: refactor
coherent buffer allocation") made swiotlb_alloc_buffer() almost always
failing due to a thinko: namely, the function evaluates the
dma_coherent_ok() call incorrectly and dealing as if it's invalid.
This ends up with weird errors like iwlwifi probe failure or amdgpu
screen flickering.
This patch corrects the logic error.
This looks ok, although even hitting this code is a bad sign. Do you
know why the previous dma_direct_alloc didn't succeed?
That I have no idea, sorry. I just figured out the regression just
from the dmesg output of 4.16 kernel in bugzilla reports.
Could you take a look at the bugzilla reports there?
In the first one, the machine appears to have enough RAM that most of it
is beyond the device's 36-bit DMA mask, thus it's fairly likely for the
initial direct alloc to come back with something unsuitable.
Robin.
