Subject: [PATCH net] net: bgmac: clear TX slots when freeing the ring
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:04:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010070418.84457-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
bgmac_dma_tx_ring_free() frees the skbs of pending TX slots but leaves
slot->skb and slot->dma_addr set. The slots survive a down/up cycle,
and bgmac_dma_tx_add() only sets slot->skb on the last slot of a
packet. If a slot with a stale pointer is later used for the head or a
fragment of a scatter/gather packet, bgmac_dma_tx_free() frees the old
skb a second time when that slot completes.
The function also picks dma_unmap_single() or dma_unmap_page() by
looking at slot->skb, which is set on the last slot of a packet, while
the head was mapped with dma_map_single() and the fragments with
skb_frag_dma_map(). Use the SOF flag of the descriptor instead, like
bgmac_dma_tx_free() does.
Unmap before freeing, and clear both fields.
