[PATCH 2/5] dmaengine: xilinx_dma: Fix cyclic period count truncation
From: Jeff C. Jensen via B4 Relay
Date: Thu Oct 22 2026 - 18:14:19 EST
From: "Jeff C. Jensen" <kernel@xxxxxxxxxxx>
xilinx_dma_prep_dma_cyclic() stores buf_len / period_len, a size_t
quotient, in an unsigned int. On 64-bit builds the count can be
truncated: a buffer of 2^32 + 1 bytes split into 1-byte periods becomes
a single period, and the transfer covers one byte of the buffer the
client asked for.
Compute the quotient as a size_t and reject it if it exceeds
XILINX_DMA_NUM_DESCS before narrowing it. Each period needs at least one
hardware descriptor, so a larger count could never be prepared from the
pool anyway.
Fixes: 92d794dfb699 ("dmaengine: vdma: Add support for cyclic dma mode")
