Re: [PATCH] slimbus: qcom-ngd-ctrl: Release the TX descriptor on error paths

[Babanpreet Singh]

Hi Srinivas,

Static analysis, then reading. smatch flagged the txn->msg check in
qcom_slim_ngd_xfer_msg() and while I was looking at that function I
noticed the two returns between tx_msg_get() and tx_msg_post(). I do not
have a SLIMbus target. The -ENOMEM consequence in the commit message is
derived from the code rather than observed: tx_head only moves in
qcom_slim_ngd_tx_msg_dma_cb() and in the re-init path, so a descriptor
that is claimed and never posted has no way back into the ring.

Verification was build only.

On the stable tag: I can send a v2 with Cc: stable and the "found by
static analysis, compile tested only" wording.

Thanks,
Babanpreet
