From e873c74132f0c5f1452816cd9bb26208f0bba1e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shivank Garg Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 19:22:05 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: fix use-after-free in dma_chan_put() and dma_release_channel() When dma_device_put() drops the last reference on chan->device->ref, dma_device_release() runs and may free the dma_device along with its channels. dma_chan_put() then still reads chan->device->owner via dma_chan_to_owner() for the trailing module_put(). KASAN catches it: slab-use-after-free in dma_chan_put+0x3e6/0x4c0 Read of size 8 by task insmod/6319 Freed by task 6319: kfree+0x225/0x470 dma_chan_put+0x395/0x4c0 dmaengine_put+0xf8/0x160 Cache the module owner in dma_chan_put() before the put so the trailing module_put() does not need chan->device.
