Florian Fainelli fb0fd3469e ARM: 9216/1: Fix MAX_DMA_ADDRESS overflow 
Commit 26f09e9b3a ("mm/memblock: add memblock memory allocation apis")
added a check to determine whether arm_dma_zone_size is exceeding the
amount of kernel virtual address space available between the upper 4GB
virtual address limit and PAGE_OFFSET in order to provide a suitable
definition of MAX_DMA_ADDRESS that should fit within the 32-bit virtual
address space. The quantity used for comparison was off by a missing
trailing 0, leading to MAX_DMA_ADDRESS to be overflowing a 32-bit
quantity.

This was caught thanks to CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL on the bcm2711 platform
where we define a dma_zone_size of 1GB and we have a PAGE_OFFSET value
of 0xc000_0000 (CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G) leading to MAX_DMA_ADDRESS being
0x1_0000_0000 which overflows the unsigned long type used throughout
__pa() and then __virt_addr_valid(). Because the virtual address passed
to __virt_addr_valid() would now be 0, the function would loudly warn
and flood the kernel log, thus making the platform unable to boot
properly.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
