Subject: [PATCH v3 01/11] dmaengine: switchtec-dma: fix double-free in switchtec_dma_free_desc()
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 12:15:16 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260727181526.9672-2-logang@deltatee.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260727181526.9672-1-logang@deltatee.com>

switchtec_dma_free_desc() frees swdma_chan->hw_sq, hw_cq, and every
desc_ring[] entry without clearing the pointers afterward. If
switchtec_dma_alloc_chan_resources() fails partway through and calls
it during unwind, then a later retry of alloc_chan_resources() fails
in switchtec_dma_alloc_desc() before reallocating one of those
pointers, its own failure path calls switchtec_dma_free_desc() again
and frees the same, already-freed pointers a second time.

NULL out each pointer as it's freed so a subsequent call is a no-op
for anything already released.

Fixes: 30eba9df76ad ("dmaengine: switchtec-dma: Implement hardware initialization and cleanup")
