Yasushi reported, that his Microchip CAN Analyzer stopped working since commit 91c02557174b ("can: mcba_usb: fix memory leak in mcba_usb"). The problem was in missing urb->transfer_dma initialization. In my previous patch to this driver I refactored mcba_usb_start() code to avoid leaking usb coherent buffers. To archive it, I passed local stack variable to usb_alloc_coherent() and then saved it to private array to correctly free all coherent buffers on ->close() call. But I forgot to initialize urb->transfer_dma with variable passed to usb_alloc_coherent(). All of this was causing device to not work, since dma addr 0 is not valid and following log can be found on bug report page, which points exactly to problem described above. | DMAR: [DMA Write] Request device [00:14.0] PASID ffffffff fault addr 0 [fault reason 05] PTE Write access is not set Fixes: 91c02557174b ("can: mcba_usb: fix memory leak in mcba_usb") Link: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=990850 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210725103630.23864-1-paskripkin@gmail.com Cc: linux-stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Reported-by: Yasushi SHOJI <yasushi.shoji@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@gmail.com> Tested-by: Yasushi SHOJI <yashi@spacecubics.com> [mkl: fixed typos in commit message - thanks Yasushi SHOJI] Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
