(In other words, there was a potential problem from the first commit of this driver...) This is because that this driver use "desc" for list_move_tail() as the first argument, and the list_move_tail() calls __list_del_entry(). So, the desc may be wrong list_head for list_next_entry(). static int usb_dmac_chan_terminate_all(struct dma_chan *chan) { <snip> list_splice_init(&uchan->desc_got, &list); list_for_each_entry(desc, &list, node) list_move_tail(&desc->node, &uchan->desc_freed); < in include/linux/list.h > static inline void list_move_tail(struct list_head *list, struct list_head *head) { __list_del_entry(list); list_add_tail(list, head); } If I enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST, the following WARNING happened: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 2477 at lib/list_debug.c:33 __list_add+0x64/0xb0() list_add corruption. prev->next should be next (edca6098), but was ee936e00.
