Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: tegra186-gpc-dma: Read channel state under the lock
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 15:22:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922072233.19592-1-ginger.jzllee@gmail.com> (raw)
tegra_dma_tx_status() reads tdc->status before taking tdc->vc.lock, and
tegra_dma_isr() snapshots tdc->dma_desc before taking the same lock. All
writers of these fields (tegra_dma_start(), tegra_dma_xfer_complete(),
tegra_dma_pause(), tegra_dma_resume() and tegra_dma_terminate_all()) update
them under tdc->vc.lock.
The unlocked read in tegra_dma_tx_status() can therefore report DMA_PAUSED
for a transfer that has already completed, and the unlocked read in
tegra_dma_isr() can pick up a tdc->dma_desc which is being cleared
concurrently, in which case the handler keeps using a stale descriptor
pointer.
Read both fields while holding tdc->vc.lock.
Fixes: ee17028 ("dmaengine: tegra: Add tegra gpcdma driver")
