Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: idxd: Remove channel from list on registration failure
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 14:23:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709062303.4167624-1-ruoyuw560@gmail.com> (raw)
idxd_register_dma_channel() links the channel before registering it.
If dma_async_device_channel_register() fails after that, the error path
frees idxd_chan while chan->device_node remains on dma->channels.
The DMA device can therefore retain a channel list entry that points into
freed idxd_chan memory. Remove the channel from dma->channels before
freeing idxd_chan on the registration failure path, matching the driver's
normal unregister path.
A static analysis checker reported the stale list entry, and manual
source review confirmed the registration failure path.
Fixes: 397862855619 ("dmaengine: idxd: fix dma device lifetime")
