Subject: [PATCH] slimbus: qcom-ngd-ctrl: Release the TX descriptor on error paths
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 03:52:03 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820035203.7-1-bbnpreetsingh@gmail.com> (raw)

qcom_slim_ngd_xfer_msg() leaks the claimed TX descriptor on two error
paths; QCOM_SLIM_NGD_DESC_NUM such failures fill the ring for good and
every later transfer fails with -ENOMEM. Give the descriptor back.

Fixes: 917809e2280b ("slimbus: ngd: Add qcom SLIMBus NGD driver")
Fixes: 52490169cddf ("slimbus: ngd: add stream support")
