Subject: [PATCH] fsl-edma: tracing: no ptr dereference during log output
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 22:00:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630200022.1826420-1-martin@kaiser.cx> (raw)

The fsl edma events store a pointer to a struct fsl_edma_engine in the
ringbuffer and dereference it when a log entry is printed. At this time,
the pointer may no longer be valid.

Event injection can be used to trigger a crash:

$ cd /sys/kernel/tracing
$ echo 'value = 0' > events/fsl_edma/edma_writeb/inject
$ cat trace

The log output needs only edma->membase. Add a membase field at the end
of the event and use the new field for log output. Keep the existing
fields for backward compatibility.

Fixes: 11102d0c343b ("dmaengine: fsl-edma: add trace event support")
