[PATCH v2 2/3] spi: tegra210-quad: Track DMA mapping state

From: Vishwaroop A

Date: Mon Oct 26 2026 - 07:27:37 EST


tegra_qspi_dma_unmap_xfer() assumes a streaming mapping is always
outstanding and recomputes its length from the live
tqspi->curr_dma_words. Nothing records whether tegra_qspi_dma_map_xfer()
mapped anything, so neither assumption holds.

For a multi-chunk transfer, handle_dma_based_xfer() unmaps the chunk that
just completed, recalculates the parameters for the next chunk, which
overwrites curr_dma_words, and re-arms the hardware. If
tegra_qspi_start_dma_based_transfer() then fails at its
tegra_qspi_dma_map_xfer() call, nothing is mapped. That early return also
sits above the smp_store_release() that clears tqspi->trans_status, so the
previous chunk's QSPI_RDY survives, and the re-arm's return value is never
checked, so handle_dma_based_xfer() returns IRQ_HANDLED without completing
the transfer.

The caller times out, tegra_qspi_handle_timeout() sees the stale QSPI_RDY,
concludes the transfer completed and calls handle_dma_based_xfer() again.
No DMA completion arrives, so num_errors is incremented and
tegra_qspi_dma_unmap_xfer() runs with nothing mapped. t->tx_dma then holds
either the DMA_MAPPING_ERROR sentinel or, if the RX mapping was the one
that failed, the preceding chunk's address that has already been released.
Behind an IOMMU the latter frees an IOVA that may since have been
reallocated.

Record whether a mapping is outstanding and the length that was mapped,
and return early from tegra_qspi_dma_unmap_xfer() when there is nothing to
release. is_dma_mapped is only updated under tqspi->lock, or on the timeout
path after synchronize_irq() and cancel_work_sync() have quiesced the ISR
and the bottom half.

Also skip releasing the TX mapping on the RX failure path unless a TX
mapping was created; t->tx_dma is uninitialised when t->tx_buf is NULL.
