[PATCH RFC] dmaengine: fsl-edma: check channel acquisition before use

From: Slavin Liu <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-11 06:09:14
Also in: imx, lkml
Subsystem: dma generic offload engine subsystem, freescale edma driver, the rest · Maintainers: Vinod Koul, Frank Li, Linus Torvalds

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.
