This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled dma-buf: fix racing conflict of dma_heap_add() to the 5.15-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: dma-buf-fix-racing-conflict-of-dma_heap_add.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1d0e7066a80030dcb306d2c4e0fef30aa073d547 Author: Dawei Li <set_pte_at@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Nov 5 00:05:36 2022 +0800 dma-buf: fix racing conflict of dma_heap_add() [ Upstream commit 432e25902b9651622578c6248e549297d03caf66 ] Racing conflict could be: task A task B list_for_each_entry strcmp(h->name)) list_for_each_entry strcmp(h->name) kzalloc kzalloc ...... ..... device_create device_create list_add list_add The root cause is that task B has no idea about the fact someone else(A) has inserted heap with same name when it calls list_add, so a potential collision occurs.
