return_bounce_pages wakes wrong map (typo: passes map instead of wait_map to add_map_callback)

Summary

return_bounce_pages at busdma_machdep.c:1311 add_map_callback(map) should be add_map_callback(wait_map). wait_map=get_map_waiting(dmat) at :1306 dequeues waiter from bounce_map_waitinglist + reserve_bounce_pages(commit=1). Passing map (the just-unloaded map) instead of wait_map (the dequeued waiter): (1) waiter I/O stalls forever (callback never scheduled, issuing thread blocks); (2) unloaded map gets spurious busdma_swi callback invoking bus_dmamap_load on stale map->buf/buflen/callback/arg. free_bounce_page :1399-1404 handles correctly (passes dequeued map). Requires bounce zone over-subscription (BUS_DMA_COULD_BOUNCE + exhausted bpages). Fix: add_map_callback(wait_map).

DF-1036 source-confirmation

Verdict: REPRODUCED (source-confirmed) Impact: none Confidence: likely

Kernel ref: sys/platform/pc64/x86_64/busdma_machdep.c:1311

Mechanism

return_bounce_pages wakes wrong map (typo): add_map_callback(map) should be add_map_callback(wait_map); waiter I/O stalls forever, stale map gets spurious callback. confirmed.

Confirmation method

source-only Low-severity; confirmation by code inspection. Runtime PoC not exercised for this Low-severity item; confirmation is by code inspection against sys/.

See fix.diff in this folder (git-apply-able unified diff).

Phase 8 (combined build)

This fix is part of the batched 70-finding combined patch (../_batch70/combined_70.patch) applied to in-guest /usr/src. A single make -j6 nativekernel KERNCONF=X86_64_GENERIC build is validated rc=0 with 0 errors under -Werror (../_batch70/fix_build.log).

Verdict

REAL: return_bounce_pages passes map instead of dequeued wait_map to add_map_callback -> waiter stalls forever + stale-map callback. confirmed.
