Subject: [PATCH 1/5] dmaengine: edma: fix memory leak when terminating running transfers
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2015 13:35:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427456155-28990-2-git-send-email-peter.ujfalusi@ti.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1427456155-28990-1-git-send-email-peter.ujfalusi@ti.com>

From: Petr Kulhavy <petr@barix.com>

If edma_terminate_all() was called while a transfer was running (i.e. after
edma_execute() but before edma_callback()) the echan->edesc was not freed.

This was due to the fact that a running transfer is on none of the
vchan lists: desc_submitted, desc_issued, desc_completed (edma_execute()
removes it from the desc_issued list), so the vchan_dma_desc_free_list()
called at the end of edma_terminate_all() didn't find it and didn't free it.

This bug was found on an AM1808 based hardware (very similar to da850evm,
however using the second MMC/SD controller), where intense operations on the SD
card wasted the device 128MB RAM within a couple of days.

Peter Ujfalusi:
The issue is even more severe since it affects cyclic (audio) transfers as
well. In this case starting/stopping audio will results memory leak.
