Subject: [PATCH] spi: Fix memory leak on splited transfers
Git-commit: b59a7ca15464c78ea1ba3b280cfc5ac5ece11ade
Patch-mainline: v5.9-rc5
References: git-fixes
In the prepare_message callback the bus driver has the
opportunity to split a transfer into smaller chunks.
spi_map_msg is done after prepare_message.
Function spi_res_release releases the splited transfers
in the message. Therefore spi_res_release should be called
after spi_map_msg.
The previous try at this was commit c9ba7a16d0f1
which released the splited transfers after
spi_finalize_current_message had been called.
This introduced a race since the message struct could be
out of scope because the spi_sync call got completed.
Fixes this leak on spi bus driver spi-bcm2835.c when transfer
size is greater than 65532:
