Subject: [PATCH v7 06/10] mfd: nct6694: Transfer command payloads via a dedicated DMA buffer
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 11:35:01 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260821033505.4017901-7-a0282524688@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260821033505.4017901-1-a0282524688@gmail.com>

From: Ming Yu <a0282524688@gmail.com>

The transport hands the caller's payload buffer straight to
usb_bulk_msg(). Sub-device drivers embed those buffers in their private
data structures, so they are neither cacheline aligned nor exclusively
owned by the transfer. On non-coherent architectures, mapping such a
buffer for DMA can corrupt the unrelated fields sharing its cachelines.

Transfer the payload through a buffer owned by the transport instead,
and reject commands exceeding the maximum firmware packet size.

Fixes: 51dad33ede63 ("mfd: Add core driver for Nuvoton NCT6694")
Signed-off-by: Ming Yu <a0282524688@gmail.com>

Changes in v7:
- New patch. Fixes the DMA-unsafe use of caller-owned payload buffers
  reported on v6 patch 6/7.
