Title
dmaengine: dw-edma: Terminate all descriptors without callbacks
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: dw-edma: Terminate all descriptors without callbacks
The DMA Engine client documentation says in the "Terminate APIs" section
of Documentation/driver-api/dmaengine/client.rst:
"No callback functions will be called for any incomplete transfers."
dw-edma instead calls vchan_cookie_complete() when a deferred STOP reaches
the interrupt handler. This schedules a callback for the active descriptor
and leaves other issued or submitted descriptors queued. A late callback
after dmaengine_terminate_sync() can dereference client state that has
already been freed, while leftover descriptors may later restart into
reused buffers or leak.
Move all issued and submitted descriptors to the terminated list whenever
termination completes. For a pending STOP, do this from both the DONE and
ABORT paths. Complete their cookies in order without scheduling callbacks.
A STOP can remain pending until the running transfer raises an
interrupt. Make device_synchronize() wait for such a pending STOP to
complete before releasing terminated descriptors. Reuse it from
free_chan_resources(), then release the remaining virt-dma resources.
Sleep instead of busy-polling while waiting, and warn if the existing
timeout expires.
Severity
No CVSS data available.
