> tegra_uart_stop_tx() calls dmaengine_terminate_all() and then
> async_tx_ack(tup->tx_dma_desc) on the descriptor that was just
> terminated. With the GPC DMA driver, dmaengine_terminate_all() frees
> the active descriptor immediately, so the ack call that follows
> touches freed memory.

> This is the same use-after-free pattern fixed for the RX path in
> tegra_uart_terminate_rx_dma() ("serial: tegra: fix RX DMA descriptor
> use-after-free"). dmaengine clients must not touch a descriptor once
> dmaengine_terminate_all() has returned.

> Move the ack before dmaengine_terminate_all(), while the descriptor
