In the first list_for_each_entry() macro of dma_async_device_register, it gets the chan from list and calls __dma_async_device_channel_register (..,chan). We can see that chan->local is allocated by alloc_percpu() and it is freed chan->local by free_percpu(chan->local) when __dma_async_device_channel_register() failed. But after __dma_async_device_channel_register() failed, the caller will goto err_out and freed the chan->local in the second time by free_percpu(). The cause of this problem is forget to set chan->local to NULL when chan->local was freed in __dma_async_device_channel_register(). My patch sets chan->local to NULL when the callee failed to avoid double free.
