Subject: [PATCH] spi: ti-qspi: fix use-after-free after DMA setup failure
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 09:48:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512074809.915084-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
The driver falls back to PIO mode if DMA setup fails during probe.
Make sure to clear the DMA channel pointer also if buffer allocation
fails to avoid passing a pointer to the released channel to the DMA
engine (or trying to free the channel a second time on late probe errors
or driver unbind).
This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a devres allocation
conversion patch.
Fixes: c687c46e9e45 ("spi: spi-ti-qspi: Use bounce buffer if read buffer is not DMA'ble")
