Subject: [PATCH 3/4] dmaengine: dmatest: Terminate channel before freeing threads
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2026 10:47:48 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260722-dmatest-fixes-and-fatal-errors-v1-3-8287709987ea@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260722-dmatest-fixes-and-fatal-errors-v1-0-8287709987ea@amd.com>
From: Nathan Lynch <nathan.lynch@amd.com>
On a channel shared by multiple threads, the completion callbacks run from
one tasklet, and dmaengine_terminate_sync() flushes it. Freeing a thread
before that flush can leave a pending callback pointing at freed memory
(dmatest_callback() reads thread->done).
Stop all channel threads and then flush the channel before freeing the
threads.
Fixes: 6f6a23a213be ("dmaengine: dmatest: move callback wait queue to thread context")
