I see the following splat with 3.13-rc1 when attempting to perform DMA: [ 253.004516] Alignment trap: not handling instruction e1902f9f at [<c0204b40>] [ 253.004583] Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x221) at 0xdfdfdfd7 [ 253.004646] Internal error: : 221 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM [ 253.004691] Modules linked in: dmatest(+) [last unloaded: dmatest] [ 253.004798] CPU: 0 PID: 671 Comm: kthreadd Not tainted 3.13.0-rc1+ #2 [ 253.004864] task: df9b0900 ti: df03e000 task.ti: df03e000 [ 253.004937] PC is at dmaengine_unmap_put+0x14/0x34 [ 253.005010] LR is at pl330_tasklet+0x3c8/0x550 [ 253.005087] pc : [<c0204b44>] lr : [<c0207478>] psr: a00e0193 [ 253.005087] sp : df03fe48 ip : 00000000 fp : df03bf18 [ 253.005178] r10: bf00e108 r9 : 00000001 r8 : 00000000 [ 253.005245] r7 : df837040 r6 : dfb41800 r5 : df837048 r4 : df837000 [ 253.005316] r3 : dfdfdfcf r2 : dfb41f80 r1 : df837048 r0 : dfdfdfd7 [ 253.005384] Flags: NzCv IRQs off FIQs on Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment kernel [ 253.005459] Control: 30c5387d Table: 9fb9ba80 DAC: fffffffd [ 253.005520] Process kthreadd (pid: 671, stack limit = 0xdf03e248) This is due to desc->txd.unmap containing garbage (uninitialised memory). Rather than add another dummy initialisation to _init_desc, instead ensure that the descriptors are zero-initialised during allocation and remove the dummy, per-field initialisation.

These happen to evaluate to 0, but for completeness sake they ought to be initialized somewhere. Otherwise we might as well drop these members. However I don't strongly feel about either way. So whatever comes in v2... Acked-by: Jassi Brar <jassisinghbrar@gmail.com>
