Subject: [PATCH RFC] dmaengine: fsl-edma: check channel acquisition before use
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 14:09:02 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911060902.94153-1-bolin.liu@seu.edu.cn> (raw)
dma_get_slave_channel() can return NULL when acquiring a channel fails,
for example if fsl_edma_alloc_chan_resources() cannot request an IRQ.
fsl_edma3_xlate() dereferences that return value to update privatecnt.
Acquire and check the channel before publishing its source ID and
request parameters. A NULL-only check after the existing source-ID
assignment would leave the failed request marked as in use, causing
fsl_edma_srcid_in_use() to reject a subsequent request for that source.
The channel resource-allocation callback does not consume these request
parameters, so set them only after acquisition succeeds. The existing
scoped mutex release and successful-channel return are preserved.
Detected by static analysis and reviewed with AI-assisted source auditing.
