Subject: [PATCH] dma: loongson2-apb-cmc: fix NULL deref in residue computation
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 07:31:53 +0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507023153.400-1-sozdayvek@gmail.com> (raw)
loongson2_cmc_dma_desc_residue() takes a "desc" parameter that is the
descriptor whose residue should be computed. The body uses it
correctly via "desc->num_sgs" and "desc->sg_req[i].len", but the
cyclic check incorrectly looks at the channel's stale current
descriptor instead:
if (lchan->desc->cyclic && next_sg == 0)
return residue;
This breaks when the function is called from the vdesc fallback path
of loongson2_cmc_dma_tx_status():
if (lchan->desc && cookie == lchan->desc->vdesc.tx.cookie)
state->residue = ...desc_residue(lchan, lchan->desc, ...);
else if (vdesc)
state->residue = ...desc_residue(lchan, to_lmdma_desc(vdesc), 0);
The else-if branch is taken precisely when "lchan->desc" is NULL or
points to a different descriptor than the one being queried, so
dereferencing "lchan->desc->cyclic" inside the helper either NULL-
derefs or reads the wrong descriptor's flag.
smatch flags this:
drivers/dma/loongson/loongson2-apb-cmc-dma.c:516
loongson2_cmc_dma_tx_status() error: we previously assumed
'lchan->desc' could be null (see line 512)
Use the "desc" parameter, matching how the rest of the function
already accesses fields of the descriptor under inspection.
