Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dmaengine: sun6i: Fix use-after-free in slave sg LLI error cleanup
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 08:39:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260927003951.11210-1-bolin.liu@seu.edu.cn> (raw)

sun6i_dma_prep_slave_sg() chains one pool-allocated LLI per
scatterlist entry.  When a later dma_pool_alloc() fails (GFP_NOWAIT,
so it does not wait for reclaim, making failure realistic under memory
pressure), the err_lli_free path walks the chain to free what was
built: the loop body hands the current LLI back to the pool with
dma_pool_free(), and the for-loop increment then reads
v_lli->p_lli_next and v_lli->v_lli_next from the memory that was just
freed and may already have been reallocated.

Cache both next fields of the current LLI before freeing it.
