Subject: [PATCHv3 04/15] dmaengine: fsldma: provide device_release callback
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 15:19:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609221926.35538-5-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609221926.35538-1-rosenp@gmail.com>
The DMA core requires drivers to set dma_device.device_release so that
the container structure is only freed after all references to it have
been dropped (see the comment above dma_async_device_register()).
This driver violated that contract: fdev was devm_kzalloc()'d with no
device_release callback. If a client still held a channel reference
when the driver was unbound, dma_device_release() would eventually
run on freed memory, causing a use-after-free.
Fix by allocating fdev with kzalloc_obj(), adding
fsldma_device_release() to free it, and setting device_release.
fsldma_of_remove() now saves channel pointers and frees IRQs before
calling dma_async_device_unregister(), since fdev may be freed by
the release callback inside that call.
