Re: [PATCH] mtk-sd: Prevent memory corruption from DMA map failure

Ping?

I think there will be another bug which leaks the resources
to cause this failure case. But anyway, without this fix,
if DMA preparation fails but runs a DMA, it will overwrite
the previous read buffer memory.

Thank you,

If msdc_prepare_data() fails to map the DMA region, the request is
not prepared for data receiving, but msdc_start_data() proceeds
the DMA with previous setting.
Since this will lead a memory corruption, we have to stop the
request operation soon after the msdc_prepare_data() fails to
prepare it.
