From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 595a334148449bd1d27cf5d6fcb3b0d718cb1b9f upstream. If the dw_edma_alloc_burst() function fails then we free "chunk" but it's still on the "desc->chunk->list" list so it will lead to a use after free. Also the "->chunks_alloc" count is incremented when it shouldn't be. In current kernels small allocations are guaranteed to succeed and dw_edma_alloc_burst() can't fail so this will not actually affect runtime.
