If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6dc1c670421c4cb4dbfb7923ef4131d45ab41d4b Author: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon May 15 13:32:10 2023 +0300 dmaengine: at_xdmac: fix potential Oops in at_xdmac_prep_interleaved() [ Upstream commit 4d43acb145c363626d76f49febb4240c488cd1cf ] There are two place if the at_xdmac_interleaved_queue_desc() fails which could lead to a NULL dereference where "first" is NULL and we call list_add_tail(&first->desc_node, ...). In the first caller, the return is not checked so add a check for that. In the next caller, the return is checked but if it fails on the first iteration through the loop then it will lead to a NULL pointer dereference.
