When unbinding/binding a driver with DMA mapped memory, the DMA map is not freed when the driver is reloaded. This leads to a memory leak when the DMA map is overwritten when reprobing the driver. This can be reproduced with a platform driver having a dma-range: dummy { ... #address-cells = <0x2>; #size-cells = <0x2>; ranges; dma-ranges = <...>; ... }; and then unbinding/binding it: ~# echo soc:dummy >/sys/bus/platform/drivers/<driver>/unbind DMA map object 0xffffff800b0ae540 still being held by &pdev->dev ~# echo soc:dummy >/sys/bus/platform/drivers/<driver>/bind ~# echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak ~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak unreferenced object 0xffffff800b0ae540 (size 64): comm "sh", pid 833, jiffies 4295174550 (age 2535.352s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<ffffffefd1694708>] create_object.isra.0+0x108/0x344 [<ffffffefd1d1a850>] kmemleak_alloc+0x8c/0xd0 [<ffffffefd167e2d0>] __kmalloc+0x440/0x6f0 [<ffffffefd1a960a4>] of_dma_get_range+0x124/0x220 [<ffffffefd1a8ce90>] of_dma_configure_id+0x40/0x2d0 [<ffffffefd198b68c>] platform_dma_configure+0x5c/0xa4 [<ffffffefd198846c>] really_probe+0x8c/0x514 [<ffffffefd1988990>] __driver_probe_device+0x9c/0x19c [<ffffffefd1988cd8>] device_driver_attach+0x54/0xbc [<ffffffefd1986634>] bind_store+0xc4/0x120 [<ffffffefd19856e0>] drv_attr_store+0x30/0x44 [<ffffffefd173c9b0>] sysfs_kf_write+0x50/0x60 [<ffffffefd173c1c4>] kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x124/0x1b4 [<ffffffefd16a013c>] new_sync_write+0xdc/0x160 [<ffffffefd16a256c>] vfs_write+0x23c/0x2a0 [<ffffffefd16a2758>] ksys_write+0x64/0xec Prevent overwriting the dma_range_map by freeing it before saving the new map.
