Subject: [PATCHv3 03/15] dmaengine: fsldma: halt DMA engine before freeing resources
Date: Tue,  9 Jun 2026 15:19:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609221926.35538-4-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609221926.35538-1-rosenp@gmail.com>

When a channel is released (fsl_dma_free_chan_resources) or the driver is
unbound (fsl_dma_chan_remove), the descriptor pool and channel resources
are freed without stopping the DMA hardware first.  An active transfer
could continue executing in the background, fetching descriptors or
writing data to physical memory pages that have already been freed.

Fix by calling dma_halt() in both paths before cleaning up, matching
the pattern already used in fsl_dma_device_terminate_all().
