2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> commit dfa7c4d869b7d3d37b70f1de856f2901b6ebfcf0 upstream. parport_pc_probe_port() creates the own 'parport_pc' device if the device argument is NULL. Then parport_pc_probe_port() doesn't initialize the dma_mask and coherent_dma_mask of the device and calls dma_alloc_coherent with it. dma_alloc_coherent fails because dma_alloc_coherent() doesn't accept the uninitialized dma_mask: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/16/150 Long ago, X86_32 and X86_64 had the own dma_alloc_coherent implementations; X86_32 accepted a device having dma_mask that is not initialized however X86_64 didn't. When we merged them, we chose to prohibit a device having dma_mask that is not initialized. I think that it's good to require drivers to set up dma_mask (and coherent_dma_mask) properly if the drivers want DMA.
