Subject: [PATCH update] firewire: fw-ohci: plug dma memory leak in AR handler
Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2008 23:09:33 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200803262309.33705.jwilson@redhat.com> (raw)

There's an ugly little memory leak in firewire-ohci's ar_context_tasklet(), where
we're not freeing up some of the memory we use for each ar_buffer, due to a
moving pointer. The problem has been there for a while, but didn't get noticed
until after converting the AR routines over to use coherent DMA and I started
running into I/O stall-outs with the following message output repeatedly to the
console:

PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space for 53248 bytes at device 0000:04:09.0

Plugging this leak is definitely necessary, but unfortunately, isn't the entire
answer to my problem, it only increases the amount of I/O that I can do before
hitting the problem. Still working on tracking down the root cause..
