This patch landed in linux-next 20200326 and it causes a kernel panic on 
various Exynos SoC based boards.

Sorry, but this code is wrong :(

The scatterlist elements (sg) describes memory chunks in physical memory 
and in the DMA (IO virtual) space. However in general, you cannot assume 
1:1 mapping between them. If you access sg_page(sg) (basically 
sg->page), you must match it with sg->length. When you access 
sg_dma_address(sg) (again, in most cases it is sg->dma_address), then 
you must match it with sg_dma_len(sg). The sg->dma_address might not be 
the dma address of the sg->page.

In some cases (when IOMMU is available, it performs aggregation of the 
scatterlist chunks and a few other, minor requirements), the whole 
scatterlist might be mapped into contiguous DMA address space and filled 
only to the first sg element.

The proper way to iterate over a scatterlists to get both the pages and 
the DMA addresses assigned to them is:

int drm_prime_sg_to_page_addr_arrays(struct sg_table *sgt, struct page 
**pages,
                                      dma_addr_t *addrs, int max_entries)
{
         unsigned count;
         struct scatterlist *sg;
         struct page *page;
         u32 page_len, page_index;
         dma_addr_t addr;
         u32 dma_len, dma_index;

         page_index = 0;
         dma_index = 0;
         for_each_sg(sgt->sgl, sg, sgt->nents, count) {
                 page_len = sg->length;
                 page = sg_page(sg);
                 dma_len = sg_dma_len(sg);
                 addr = sg_dma_address(sg);

                 while (pages && page_len > 0) {
                         if (WARN_ON(page_index >= max_entries))
                                 return -1;
                         pages[page_index] = page;
                         page++;
                         page_len -= PAGE_SIZE;
                         page_index++;
                 }

                 while (addrs && dma_len > 0) {
                         if (WARN_ON(dma_index >= max_entries))
                                 return -1;
                         addrs[dma_index] = addr;
                         addr += PAGE_SIZE;
                         dma_len -= PAGE_SIZE;
                         dma_index++;
                 }
         }

         return 0;
}

I will send a patch in a few minutes with the above fixed code.
