[ Upstream commit ee1d7274102285d78a53161fc705a8d8cd40b066 ]

The failed_dev_add and failed_dev_name paths drop the file-device
reference while wq-&gt;wq_lock is still held. If put_device(fdev) drops the
last reference, idxd_file_dev_release() runs synchronously and tries to
take wq-&gt;wq_lock again, deadlocking.

Those paths also fall through into the later ctx cleanup labels even
though idxd_file_dev_release() owns that cleanup and frees ctx. This can
make idxd_xa_pasid_remove(ctx) and kfree(ctx) operate on a freed context.

Move idxd_wq_get() before file-device setup can fail, since the release
callback always calls idxd_wq_put(). Then unlock wq-&gt;wq_lock before
put_device(fdev) and return directly from the file-device setup failure
path, leaving ctx cleanup to the release callback.

[ Upstream commit ab1150115e68a46b687eb38c1ab92782018c9f2c ]

When terminating DMA transfers, active descriptors are not properly
reclaimed. Only cyclic descriptors were handled, leaving non-cyclic
descriptors and their LLI chains to be permanently leaked.

Fix by using vchan_terminate_vdesc() which handles both cyclic and
non-cyclic descriptors by adding them to desc_terminated queue for
proper cleanup.

Add pchan-&gt;desc != pchan-&gt;done check to prevent double-adding completed
descriptors, which would corrupt the list.

dw_edma_pcie_probe() treats the PCI device ID driver_data as the
template for the controller layout and copies it unconditionally. A
device bound dynamically via sysfs can match the driver without that
data, which leads to a NULL pointer dereference.

Reject such matches before enabling the device.

[ Upstream commit f9ef8dedee34e2d7828d5a6a0643cd969aaa8437 ]

Initializing automatic __free variables to NULL without need (e.g.
branches with different allocations), followed by actual allocation is
in contrary to explicit coding rules guiding cleanup.h:

"Given that the "__free(...) = NULL" pattern for variables defined at
the top of the function poses this potential interdependency problem the
recommendation is to always define and assign variables in one statement
and not group variable definitions at the top of the function when
__free() is used."

Code does not have a bug, but is less readable and uses discouraged
coding practice, so fix that by moving declaration to the place of
assignment.

commit 731712403ddb39d1a76a11abf339a0615bc85de7 upstream.

Once the interrupt is requested, the interrupt handler may run immediately.
Since the IRQ handler can access channel-&gt;ch_base, which is initialized
only after requesting the IRQ, this may lead to invalid memory access.
Likewise, the IRQ thread may access uninitialized data (the ld_free,
ld_queue, and ld_active lists), which may also lead to issues.

Request the interrupts only after everything is set up. To keep the error
path simpler, use dmam_alloc_coherent() instead of dma_alloc_coherent().

commit 8ffba0171c6bbce5f093c6dba5a02c0805b31203 upstream.

The DONE_INT_MASK and ABORT_INT_MASK registers are shared by all DMA
channels, and modifying them requires a read-modify-write sequence.
Because this operation is not atomic, concurrent calls to
dw_edma_v0_core_start() can introduce race conditions if two channels
update these registers simultaneously.

Add a spinlock to serialize access to these registers and prevent race
conditions.

commit 4651df83b6c796daead3447e8fd874322918ee4f upstream.

Currently, the Tegra GPC DMA hardware requires the transfer length to
be a multiple of the max burst size configured for the channel. When a
client requests a transfer where the length is not evenly divisible by
the configured max burst size, the DMA hangs with partial burst at
the end.

Fix this by reducing the burst size to the largest power-of-2 value
that evenly divides the transfer length. For example, a 40-byte
transfer with a 16-byte max burst will now use an 8-byte burst
(40 / 8 = 5 complete bursts) instead of causing a hang.

This issue was observed with the PL011 UART driver where TX DMA
transfers of arbitrary lengths were stuck.

<title>dmaengine: dma-axi-dmac: use DMA pool to manange DMA descriptor</title>

[ Upstream commit 9e942c8579130e62734c14338e9f451780669164 ]

For architectures like Microblaze or arm64 (where this IP is used),
DMA_DIRECT_REMAP is set which means that dma_alloc_coherent() might
remap (and hence vmalloc()) some memory. This became visible in a design
where dma_direct_use_pool() is not possible.

With the above, when calling dma_free_coherent(), vunmap() would be
called from softirq context and thus leading to a BUG().

To fix it, use a dma pool that is allocated in
.device_alloc_chan_resources() and allocate blocks from it. The key
point is that now dma_pool_free() is used in axi_dmac_free_desc() to
free the blocks and that just frees the blocks from the pool in the
sense they can be used again. In other words, no actual call to
dma_free_coherent() happens. That only happens when destroying the pool
in axi_dmac_free_chan_resources() which does not happen in any interrupt
context.
