Subject: help with dma_alloc_coherent() + dma_free_coherent()

I'm trying to understand how this oops in the diva driver and it's just a
simple dma_alloc_coherent() followed by dma_free_coherent(), but it oops.
Why?

Thanks,
Jeff


static u32 *clock_data_addr;
static dma_addr_t clock_data_bus_addr;

        if((clock_data_addr = dma_alloc_coherent(NULL, PAGE_SIZE,
                        &clock_data_bus_addr, GFP_KERNEL)) != 0) {
                printk(KERN_INFO "dma_alloc_coherent ok\n");
                memset (clock_data_addr, 0x00, PAGE_SIZE);
        } else
                printk(KERN_INFO "dma_alloc_coherent bad!!!\n");
        if(clock_data_addr) {
                printk(KERN_INFO "dma_free_coherent!!!\n");
                dma_free_coherent(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, clock_data_addr,
                        clock_data_bus_addr);
                clock_data_addr = NULL;
        }


dma_alloc_coherent ok
dma_free_coherent!!!
