在网上查了一下，说要用gdb来debug定位，我没有用过，想想先看看代码吧。

然后查代码，看看有没有数组越界或者内存分配的问题。

最后终于发现是一个地方没有释放内存。

void write_buffer_to_dvd(char * buf, __u32 count){
	u16 cmd[6];
	u8 *_buf;

	_buf = kmalloc(count+SPI_CMD_LEN,GFP_KERNEL);


	cmd[0] = FILE_READ_HEADER;
	cmd[1] = FILE_WRITE_CMD;
	cmd[2] = (count >> 16)&0x0000ffff;
	cmd[3] = count & 0x0000ffff;


	/*for(w_cnt=0;w_cnt < count;w_cnt++){
		buf[w_cnt] = w_cnt;
	}*/

	memcpy(_buf,(u8*)cmd, SPI_CMD_LEN);
	memcpy(_buf+SPI_CMD_LEN,buf,count);
	spi_setup_dma_for_tx(_buf, count+SPI_CMD_LEN);

}

这里给_buf指针分配了内存空间，可是运行完之后没有及时释放，导致这个函数多次调用之后内存耗尽，系统死机。

在后面加上：

	kfree(_buf);

可以解决。
