This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled spi: Ensure that sg_table won't be used after being freed to the 5.10-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: spi-ensure-that-sg_table-won-t-be-used-after-being-f.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit cb6afcf302c852b61db7a99dce9f901bd9588708 Author: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Sep 30 13:34:08 2022 +0200 spi: Ensure that sg_table won't be used after being freed [ Upstream commit 8e9204cddcc3fea9affcfa411715ba4f66e97587 ] SPI code checks for non-zero sgt->orig_nents to determine if the buffer has been DMA-mapped. Ensure that sg_table is really zeroed after free to avoid potential NULL pointer dereference if the given SPI xfer object is reused again without being DMA-mapped.
