Subject[PATCH] arm64: Fix swiotlb fallback allocation
Date
Commit b67a8b29df introduced logic to skip swiotlb allocation when all memory
is DMA accessible anyway.

While this is a great idea, __dma_alloc still calls swiotlb code unconditionally
to allocate memory when there is no CMA memory available. The swiotlb code is
called to ensure that we at least try get_free_pages().

Without initialization, swiotlb allocation code tries to access io_tlb_list
which is NULL. That results in a stack trace like this:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

[...]

Thankfully swiotlb code just learned how to not do allocations with the FORCE_NO
option. This patch configures the swiotlb code to use that if we decide not to
initialize the swiotlb framework.

Fixes: b67a8b29df ("arm64: mm: only initialize swiotlb when necessary")
