Subject: [PATCH 1/3] accel: ethosu: Fix job submit error clean-up refcount underflows
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 16:21:55 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218-ethos-fixes-v1-1-be3fa3ea9a30@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260218-ethos-fixes-v1-0-be3fa3ea9a30@kernel.org>
If the job submit fails before adding the job to the scheduler queue
such as when the GEM buffer bounds checks fail, then doing a
ethosu_job_put() results in a pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() without the
corresponding pm_runtime_resume_and_get(). The dma_fence_put()'s are
also unnecessary, but seem to be harmless.
Split the ethosu_job_cleanup() function into 2 parts for the before
and after the job is queued.
Fixes: 5a5e9c0228e6 ("accel: Add Arm Ethos-U NPU driver")
