[ Upstream commitf65e192af3] This patch solves a crash at the time of mlx4 driver unload or system shutdown. The crash occurs because dma_alloc_coherent() returns one value in mlx4_alloc_icm_coherent(), but a different value is passed to dma_free_coherent() in mlx4_free_icm_coherent(). In turn this is because when allocated, that pointer is passed to sg_set_buf() to record it, then when freed it is re-calculated by calling lowmem_page_address(sg_page()) which returns a different value. Solve this by recording the value that dma_alloc_coherent() returns, and passing this to dma_free_coherent(). This patch is roughly equivalent to commit378efe798e("RDMA/hns: Get rid of page operation after dma_alloc_coherent").

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
