Currently, sun4i_dma_free_contract iterates over lists and frees memory as it goes through them, causing reads to recently freed memory to be performed. Fix this by using the safe version of the iterator, so freed memory is not referenced at all. Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Emilio López <emilio@elopez.com.ar> --- Hi, This is a patch to fix an issue pointed out by Dan on http://www.spinics.net/lists/dmaengine/msg05822.html I didn't get a chance to test a system with this, but it looks trivial enough and it builds. This should go in the -rc cycle, and there's no need for stable as the driver just landed this merge window.
