[PATCH] dmaengine: ppc4xx: check dma_map_page() errors in probe

From: Rosen Penev

Date: Thu Sep 10 2026 - 17:44:48 EST


In ppc440spe_adma_probe() the helper pages are mapped with
dma_map_page() but the returned DMA address is never validated with
dma_mapping_error(). On 440SPe the mapping goes through the
SWIOTLB/direct map, which can fail under memory pressure or with an
IOMMU, returning DMA_MAPPING_ERROR. The bogus address would then be
programmed into the CDBs used by the async validation and
mult/sum_product operations, causing the engine to DMA to or from
arbitrary memory and corrupt data.

Fail the probe when either mapping fails, freeing the pages and
unmapping the first page if the second mapping fails.
