[PATCH v2] dmaengine: qcom: gpi: Fix channel cleanup in unwind path

From: Aniket Randive

Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 02:51:50 EST


The gpi_ch_init() error path has three bugs: sibling channels are
not fully reset and deallocated, the event ring pm_state is left
stale after being freed, and ch_ring leaks if gpi_ch_init() fails.

Fix the unwind loops in error_start_chan and error_alloc_chan to
iterate over gpii->gchan[i] instead of the original gchan pointer,
so each sibling channel is properly reset and deallocated.

Restore pm_state to DISABLE_STATE after freeing the event ring, so
gpi_free_chan_resources() does not attempt to free an already freed
ring or issue a redundant EV_CMD_DEALLOC.

Free ch_ring in gpi_alloc_chan_resources() if gpi_ch_init() fails,
since the ring is allocated before the call and would otherwise leak.
