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.

+ KernelMemorySanitizer (KMSAN) is a dynamic detector of uses of
+ uninitialized values in the kernel. It is based on compiler
+ instrumentation provided by Clang and thus requires Clang to build.
+
+ An important note is that KMSAN is not intended for production use,
+ because it drastically increases kernel memory footprint and slows
+ the whole system down.
+
+ See <file:Documentation/dev-tools/kmsan.rst> for more details.

+ help
+ If the compiler supports -fsanitize-memory-param-retval, KMSAN will
+ eagerly check every function parameter passed by value and every
+ function return value.
+
+ Disabling KMSAN_CHECK_PARAM_RETVAL will result in tracking shadow for
+ function parameters and return values across function borders. This
+ is a more relaxed mode, but it generates more instrumentation code and
+ may potentially report errors in corner cases when non-instrumented
+ functions call instrumented ones.
