Maybe this will address the issue on ARM?
ARM: Allocate dma pages via the page allocator and not via the slab allocator
Slab allocations are not guaranteed to be page aligned and slab allocators
may use the page structs for their own purposes. Using the page allocator
yields a properly aligned page and also makes the page flushing logic work right.
Passing a kmalloced "page" to a flushing function will not work reliably.
This will hopefully address the issue with SLUB on ARM. SLUB uses the
page->mapping field which is also checked by the flushing logic. The
flushing logic expects a normal page and not a slab page.
