Commit9495b7e92f("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.
