And the bisection reveals the following:
adrian@bossclass:~/linux-2.6$ git bisect bad 58c6d3dfe436eb8cfb451981d8fdc9044eaf42da is first bad commit commit 58c6d3dfe436eb8cfb451981d8fdc9044eaf42da Author: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Date: Tue Jan 6 14:43:10 2009 -0800
dma-coherent: catch oversized requests to dma_alloc_from_coherent()
Prevent passing an order to bitmap_find_free_region() that is larger than the actual bitmap can represent.
These requests can come from device drivers that have no idea how big the dma region is and need to rely on dma_alloc_from_coherent() to sort it out for them.
