Subject: [PATCHv3 6/6] serial: mxs-auart: terminate DMA before releasing channels in exit
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 20:38:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260611033856.6476-7-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260611033856.6476-1-rosenp@gmail.com>
mxs_auart_dma_exit_channel() calls dma_release_channel() and then
kfree() on the DMA buffers without first terminating any in-flight
transfers. If an asynchronous DMA transfer completes after the buffers
have been freed, the callback will access freed memory.
Call dmaengine_terminate_sync() on each channel before releasing it
to safely abort pending transfers.
