Subject: [PATCH 3.19 062/101] dmaengine: edma: fix memory leak when terminating running transfers
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2015 15:28:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150417132517.081653392@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150417132514.379828774@linuxfoundation.org>
3.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Petr Kulhavy <petr@barix.com>
commit 5ca9e7ce6eebec53362ff779264143860ccf68cd upstream.
If edma_terminate_all() was called while a transfer was running (i.e. after
edma_execute() but before edma_callback()) the echan->edesc was not freed.
This was due to the fact that a running transfer is on none of the
vchan lists: desc_submitted, desc_issued, desc_completed (edma_execute()
removes it from the desc_issued list), so the vchan_dma_desc_free_list()
called at the end of edma_terminate_all() didn't find it and didn't free it.
This bug was found on an AM1808 based hardware (very similar to da850evm,
however using the second MMC/SD controller), where intense operations on the SD
card wasted the device 128MB RAM within a couple of days.
Peter Ujfalusi:
The issue is even more severe since it affects cyclic (audio) transfers as
well. In this case starting/stopping audio will results memory leak.
