[PATCH] dmaengine: sun4i: fix unsafe list iteration

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently, sun4i_dma_free_contract iterates over lists and frees memory
as it goes through them, causing reads to recently freed memory to
be performed. Fix this by using the safe version of the iterator, so
freed memory is not referenced at all.

Hi,

This is a patch to fix an issue pointed out by Dan on

http://www.spinics.net/lists/dmaengine/msg05822.html

I didn't get a chance to test a system with this, but it looks trivial
enough and it builds. This should go in the -rc cycle, and there's no
need for stable as the driver just landed this merge window.

Cheers,
Emilio
