Commit 9495b7e92f716ab2bd6814fab5e97ab4a39adfdd ("driver core: platform:
Initialize dma_parms for platform devices") in v5.7-rc5 causes
vb2_dma_contig_clear_max_seg_size() to kfree memory that was not
allocated by vb2_dma_contig_set_max_seg_size().
The assumption in vb2_dma_contig_set_max_seg_size() seems to be that
dev->dma_parms is always NULL when the driver is probed, and the case
where dev->dma_parms has bee initialized by someone else than the driver
(by calling vb2_dma_contig_set_max_seg_size) will cause a failure.
All the current users of these functions are platform devices, which now
always have dma_parms set by the driver core. To fix the issue for v5.7,
make vb2_dma_contig_set_max_seg_size() return an error if dma_parms is
NULL to be on the safe side, and remove the kfree code from
vb2_dma_contig_clear_max_seg_size().
For v5.8 we should remove the two functions and move the
dma_set_max_seg_size() calls into the drivers.

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.
