Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] The patch fixes a runtime PM reference leak when `sw_desc_pool` allocation fails, but misses an identical PM reference leak and a memory leak when `desc_pool_v` allocation fails.
- [High] The probe function leaks the PM runtime usage counter on error paths if PM runtime is enabled.
- [High] Dropping the spinlock inside `list_for_each_entry_safe` in `zynqmp_dma_chan_desc_cleanup` exposes the list to concurrent corruption.

dmaengine: zynqmp_dma: Fix PM rollback on sw_desc_pool alloc failure
If sw_desc_pool allocation fails after pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
succeeds in zynqmp_dma_alloc_chan_resources(), the error path returns
without dropping the runtime PM reference. Route that failure path
through err_pm so the runtime PM reference is balanced before
returning the error.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but I noticed another leak in this same
function. If dma_alloc_coherent() fails:
drivers/dma/xilinx/zynqmp_dma.c:zynqmp_dma_alloc_chan_resources() {
...
chan->desc_pool_v = dma_alloc_coherent(...);
if (!chan->desc_pool_v)
return -ENOMEM;
...
}
Does this path also leak the PM reference and chan->sw_desc_pool since
it returns directly instead of jumping to an error label?
[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but the probe function seems to have a similar
PM leak on error paths.
drivers/dma/xilinx/zynqmp_dma.c:zynqmp_dma_probe() {
...
ret = pm_runtime_resume_and_get(zdev->dev);
...
err_disable_pm:
if (!pm_runtime_enabled(zdev->dev))
zynqmp_dma_runtime_suspend(zdev->dev);
pm_runtime_disable(zdev->dev);
return ret;
}
If pm_runtime_resume_and_get() succeeds but a subsequent step fails, we jump
to err_disable_pm. Is the PM runtime usage counter leaked here since there
is no pm_runtime_put_noidle() called before disabling PM?
[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but there might be a race condition in
zynqmp_dma_chan_desc_cleanup().
drivers/dma/xilinx/zynqmp_dma.c:zynqmp_dma_chan_desc_cleanup() {
...
list_for_each_entry_safe(desc, next, &chan->done_list, node) {
...
if (dmaengine_desc_callback_valid(&cb)) {
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&chan->lock, irqflags);
dmaengine_desc_callback_invoke(&cb, NULL);
spin_lock_irqsave(&chan->lock, irqflags);
}
...
}
Since the spinlock is temporarily dropped inside the list_for_each_entry_safe
loop, can concurrent modifications to the list invalidate the next pointer
and cause memory corruption when the lock is reacquired?
