This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dmaengine: mediatek: free the proper desc in desc_free handler to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: dmaengine-mediatek-free-the-proper-desc-in-desc_free.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8ef918dad7ca53c3e9ecaddcc93330ac25dc31ba Author: Guillaume Ranquet <granquet@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu May 13 21:26:40 2021 +0200 dmaengine: mediatek: free the proper desc in desc_free handler [ Upstream commit 0a2ff58f9f8f95526ecb0ccd7517fefceb96f661 ] The desc_free handler assumed that the desc we want to free was always the current one associated with the channel. This is seldom the case and this is causing use after free crashes in multiple places (tx/rx/terminate...).
