UBUNTU-CVE-2026-93170: Race Condition
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: xilinxdma: Fix channel idle state management in AXIDMA and MCDMA interrupt handlers Fix a race condition in AXIDMA and MCDMA irq handlers where the channel could be incorrectly marked as idle and attempt spurious transfers when descriptors are still being processed. The issue occurs when: 1. Multiple descriptors are queued and active. 2. An interrupt fires after completing some descriptors. 3. xilinxdmacompletedescriptor() moves completed descriptors to donelist. 4. Channel is marked idle and starttransfer() is called even though activelist still contains unprocessed descriptors. 5. This leads to premature transfer attempts and potential descriptor corruption or missed completions. Only mark the channel as idle and start new transfers when the active list is actually empty, ensuring proper channel state management and avoiding spurious transfer attempts.
