Tengo un caso de uso donde nr_buffers = 3 y en el que cada descriptor est\u00e1 compuesto por 3 segmentos, lo que da como resultado que el canal DMA descs_allocated sea 9.

Para solucionar este problema, la propuesta es agregar un nuevo miembro a la estructura axi_dma_desc, donde mantenemos el n\u00famero de hw_descs asignados (axi_desc_alloc()) y lo usamos en axi_desc_put() para manejar la matriz hw_desc correctamente. Adem\u00e1s, propongo eliminar la llamada axi_chan_start_first_queued() despu\u00e9s de completar la transferencia, ya que se identific\u00f3 que puede ocurrir un desequilibrio (los descriptores iniciados pueden interrumpirse y la transferencia se ignora debido a que el canal DMA no est\u00e1 habilitado)."}], "lastModified": "2025-11-03T22:17:18.903", "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "DD1E49C8-DE20-4CCB-8715-3FB3FA95ABC7", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.162"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "61E887B4-732A-40D2-9983-CC6F281EBFB7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.96", "versionStartIncluding": "5.16"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "E1046C95-860A-45B0-B718-2B29F65BFF10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.36", "versionStartIncluding": "6.2"}, {"criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "vulnerable": true, "matchCriteriaId": "0A047AF2-94AC-4A3A-B32D-6AB930D8EF1C", "versionEndExcluding": "6.9.7", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7"}], "operator": "OR"}]}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}
