[PATCH] dmaengine: mmp_pdma: Check virtual channel before scheduling tasklet
From: Ruoyu Wang
Date: Tue Jul 07 2026 - 11:14:44 EST
mmp_pdma_chan_handler() clears a physical-channel interrupt and then
unconditionally schedules phy->vchan->tasklet. The physical channel can
be detached from its virtual channel when the channel is terminated or
when no pending work remains, so a late or shared interrupt can reach the
handler with phy->vchan already NULL.
Snapshot phy->vchan in the interrupt path, skip tasklet scheduling when
there is no virtual channel, and use the same snapshot for the BUSERR
warning. Use WRITE_ONCE() for the matching attach/detach stores because
the IRQ path reads this pointer without taking phy_lock.
This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by
manual source review.
