Subject: rapidio: mport_cdev: fix use-after-free in dma_req_free()
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 16:05:30 +0900
dma_req_free() drops the mapping reference under buf_mutex and then
dereferences req->map again to unlock the mutex.
If kref_put() drops the last reference, mport_release_mapping() frees the
mapping, and the subsequent mutex_unlock() dereferences a freed object.
This is a use-after-free.
Fix this by caching map and md before kref_put() and using the cached md
for mutex unlocking.
