[PATCH] driver core: Free DMA range map when device is released

From: Mårten Lindahl
Date: Wed Feb 16 2022 - 04:43:20 EST


When unbinding/binding a driver with DMA mapped memory, the DMA map is
not freed before the driver is reloaded. This leads to a memory leak
when the DMA map is overwritten when reprobing the driver.

This can be reproduced with a platform driver having a dma-range:

dummy {
...
#address-cells = <0x2>;
#size-cells = <0x2>;
ranges;
dma-ranges = <...>;
...
};

and then unbinding/binding it:

~# echo soc:dummy >/sys/bus/platform/drivers/<driver>/unbind

DMA map object 0xffffff800b0ae540 still being held by &pdev->dev

~# echo soc:dummy >/sys/bus/platform/drivers/<driver>/bind
~# echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
~# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
unreferenced object 0xffffff800b0ae540 (size 64):
comm "sh", pid 833, jiffies 4295174550 (age 2535.352s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

To prevent this we should free the dma_range_map when the device is
released.
