The buffers passed in the data phase must be DMA-able. Programmers often don't realise this requirement and pass in buffers that reside on the stack. This can be hard to spot when reviewing code. Reject ops if their data buffer is on the stack to avoid this. Signed-off-by: Pratyush Yadav <p.yadav@xxxxxx> Acked-by: Mark Brown <broonie@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v2: - Include task_stack.h. It might not get included indirectly on some platforms and can cause build failures. - Add a WARN_ON_ONCE() for debuggability. - Add Mark's Ack. drivers/spi/spi-mem.c | 10 ++++++++++ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/spi/spi-mem.c b/drivers/spi/spi-mem.c index 7d7091aa0c22..e8de4f5017cd 100644 --- a/drivers/spi/spi-mem.c +++ b/drivers/spi/spi-mem.c @@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ #include <linux/pm_runtime.h> #include <linux/spi/spi.h> #include <linux/spi/spi-mem.h> +#include <linux/sched/task_stack.h> #include "internals.h" @@ -211,6 +212,15 @@ static int spi_mem_check_op(const struct spi_mem_op *op) !spi_mem_buswidth_is_valid(op->data.buswidth)) return -EINVAL; + /* Buffers must be DMA-able. */ + if (WARN_ON_ONCE(op->data.dir == SPI_MEM_DATA_IN && + object_is_on_stack(op->data.buf.in))) + return -EINVAL; + + if (WARN_ON_ONCE(op->data.dir == SPI_MEM_DATA_OUT && + object_is_on_stack(op->data.buf.out))) + return -EINVAL; + return 0; } -- 2.34.1
