Commit 19e6e5e5392b ("ARM: 8547/1: dma-mapping: store buffer information") allocates a structure meant for internal buffer management with the GFP flags of the buffer itself. This can trigger the following safeguard in the slab/slub allocator:
if (unlikely(flags & GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK)) { pr_emerg("gfp: %u\n", flags & GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK); BUG(); } Fix this by allocating the structure with GFP_KERNEL, as it is meant to be used by the kernel and not for DMA.
