dma_unmap causing issues with __get_free_pages

[Joel Fernandes]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with using the dma_map/unmap API.

On unmapping a particular page using dma_unmap, it seems that the
PG_dcache_clean flag is set in the page->flags. This is set by the
following statement in __dma_page_dev_to_cpu function in
arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c
                set_bit(PG_dcache_clean, &page->flags);

Due to this, on any subsequent page allocations using __get_free_pages,
the following BUG gets triggered.

If I don't do the unmap and leave the page alone, everything works just
fine.

What is correct way to fix this? Why does the page allocator think its a
BAD page descriptor after the unmap?

Thanks,
