CVE-2023-54020
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: sf-pdma: pdma_desc memory leak fix
Commit b2cc5c465c2c ('dmaengine: sf-pdma: Add multithread support for a
DMA channel') changed sf_pdma_prep_dma_memcpy() to unconditionally
allocate a new sf_pdma_desc each time it is called.
The driver previously recycled descs, by checking the in_use flag, only
allocating additional descs if the existing one was in use. This logic
was removed in commit b2cc5c465c2c ('dmaengine: sf-pdma: Add multithread
support for a DMA channel'), but sf_pdma_free_desc() was not changed to
handle the new behaviour.
As a result, each time sf_pdma_prep_dma_memcpy() is called, the previous
descriptor is leaked, over time leading to memory starvation:
unreferenced object 0xffffffe008447300 (size 192):
comm 'irq/39-mchp_dsc', pid 343, jiffies 4294906910 (age 981.200s)

Add the missing kfree() to sf_pdma_free_desc(), and remove the redundant
in_use flag.
