[PATCH] ARM: tegra: Prevent requeuing in-progress DMA requests

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

 



From: Stephen Warren <swarren@xxxxxxxxxx>

If a request already in the queue is passed to tegra_dma_enqueue_req,
tegra_dma_req.node->{next,prev} will end up pointing to itself instead
of at tegra_dma_channel.list, which is the way a the end-of-list
should be set up. When the DMA request completes and is list_del'd,
the list head will still point at it, yet the node's next/prev will
contain the list poison values. When the next DMA request completes,
a kernel panic will occur when those poison values are dereferenced.

This makes the DMA driver more robust in the face of buggy clients.

This is for for-next

Ugh. The previous version had a nasty bug; list_del should not have been
called in the error case. This version removes the call to list_del, and
simplifies the error logic to return immediately instead of setting a
found flag.
