dmaengine: fix use-after-free in dma_chan_put() and dma_release_channel()grafted
When dma_device_put() drops the last reference on chan->device->ref, dma_device_release() runs and may free the dma_device along with its channels. dma_chan_put() then still reads chan->device->owner via dma_chan_to_owner() for the trailing module_put(). KASAN catches it: slab-use-after-free in dma_chan_put+0x3e6/0x4c0 Read of size 8 by task insmod/6319 Freed by task 6319: kfree+0x225/0x470 dma_chan_put+0x395/0x4c0 dmaengine_put+0xf8/0x160 Cache the module owner in dma_chan_put() before the put so the trailing module_put() does not need chan->device.

+Description:
+ (X = CPU number)
+
+ Machine checks report internal hardware error conditions
+ detected by the CPU. Uncorrected errors typically cause a
+ machine check (often with panic), corrected ones cause a
+ machine check log entry.
+
+ For more details about the x86 machine check architecture
+ see the Intel and AMD architecture manuals from their
+ developer websites.
+
+ For more details about the architecture
+ see http://one.firstfloor.org/~andi/mce.pdf
+
+ Each CPU has its own directory.

+Description:
+ (Y bank number)
+
+ 64bit Hex bitmask enabling/disabling specific subevents for
+ bank Y.
+
+ When a bit in the bitmask is zero then the respective
+ subevent will not be reported.
+
+ By default all events are enabled.
+
+ Note that BIOS maintain another mask to disable specific events
+ per bank. This is not visible here

+Date: Feb, 2007
+Description:
+ The entries appear for each CPU, but they are truly shared
+ between all CPUs.
+
+ How often to poll for corrected machine check errors, in
+ seconds (Note output is hexadecimal). Default 5 minutes.
+ When the poller finds MCEs it triggers an exponential speedup
+ (poll more often) on the polling interval. When the poller
+ stops finding MCEs, it triggers an exponential backoff
+ (poll less often) on the polling interval. The check_interval
+ variable is both the initial and maximum polling interval.
+ 0 means no polling for corrected machine check errors
+ (but some corrected errors might be still reported
+ in other ways)

+ Disables logging for corrected errors.
+ All reported corrected errors will be cleared silently.
