In commit 376991db4b64 ("driver core: Postpone DMA tear-down until after

Hi all,

A friendly reminder on this patch... I didn't see any update.

I thought that it had some importance.

Thanks,
John

However, we have seen another crash on an arm64 system when a
device driver probe fails:

The crash occurs for the same reason.

In this case, on the really_probe() failure path, we are still clearing
the DMA ops prior to releasing the device's managed memories.

This patch fixes this issue by reordering the DMA ops teardown and the
call to devres_release_all() on the failure path.

So does this "fix" 376991db4b64? If so, should this be added to the
patch and also backported to the stable trees?

Hi Greg,

No, I don't think so. I'd say it supplements it. Here I'm trying to fix up another path in which we tear down the DMA ops prior to releasing the device's resources.

I didn't add a fixes tag as 376991db4b64 didn't have one either. It will need to be backported to stable, I figure the same as 376991db4b64.

Thanks,
John
