Hi all,
with todays linux-next (next-20180228), kernel on Allwinner H3 SoC crashes with dmesg like that: https://pastebin.com/raw/0D5JeaJ8
I bisected the kernel and first offending commit is: be7ee5f32a9a ("ASoC: soc-generic-dmaengine-pcm: replace platform to component")
I know that crash message is completely unrelated to sound subsystem, but it turns out that if I disable CONFIG_SND_SUN4I_CODEC kernel works ok, but this way I lose analog audio output.
Any suggestions what can be the issue?
I did a bit of research and I can tell you that different kernel options (some drivers added or removed) change how or where kernel crashes. That would suggest some kind of memory corruption.
I removed parts of the code from the sun4i codec driver and interestingly it doesn't crash if I remove following lines:
ret = devm_snd_dmaengine_pcm_register(&pdev->dev, NULL, 0); if (ret) { dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to register against DMAEngine\n"); goto err_assert_reset; }
Is it possible that NULL pointer causes troubles somewhere down the line?
I tested this on linux-next, next-20180228 tag.
Best regards, Jernej
