Subject: [PATCH] usb: musb: gadget: fix possible NULL pointer dereference
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2016 15:52:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bn73frrm.fsf@linutronix.de> (raw)
txstate() assumes that if the request buffer is mapped, a DMA channel
is allocated. There is a case here where the DMA channel is released
and then shortly thereafter (in general PIO code) the request buffer
is unmapped. However, in this case unmap_dma_buffer() silently fails
because the DMA channel is already gone. Thus, the next time txstate()
is called, there is a NULL pointer exception because the buffer is
mapped but no DMA channel is allocated.
This patch adds an extra call unmap_dma_buffer() before releasing the
channel.
