    arm64: Fix swiotlb fallback allocation · 524dabe1
    Alexander Graf authored and Catalin Marinas's avatar Catalin Marinas committed
    Commit b67a8b29 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: b67a8b29
    
     ("arm64: mm: only initialize swiotlb when necessary")
