**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees.
## Detailed Analysis:
**Nature of the fix:** The commit adds missing error checking for `dma_map_single()` calls in two locations within the idt77252 ATM driver:
1. **In `queue_skb()` function (line 853-854):** ```c IDT77252_PRV_PADDR(skb) = dma_map_single(&card->pcidev->dev, skb->data, skb->len, DMA_TO_DEVICE); +if (dma_mapping_error(&card->pcidev->dev, IDT77252_PRV_PADDR(skb))) + return -ENOMEM; ``` This correctly returns -ENOMEM before reaching the errout label, avoiding any cleanup issues since the DMA mapping never succeeded.
2. **In `add_rx_skb()` function (line 1857-1860):** ```c paddr = dma_map_single(&card->pcidev->dev, skb->data, skb_end_pointer(skb) - skb->data, DMA_FROM_DEVICE); +if (dma_mapping_error(&card->pcidev->dev, paddr)) + goto outpoolrm; ``` This properly jumps to the new `outpoolrm` label which removes the SKB from the pool before freeing it, maintaining correct cleanup order.
**Why this qualifies for stable backporting:**
1. **Fixes a real bug**: Missing DMA mapping error checks can cause system crashes or data corruption, especially on systems with IOMMU or SWIOTLB where DMA mapping failures are more likely.
2. **Simple and contained**: The fix adds only 5 lines of error checking code with no architectural changes.
3. **Similar to approved backports**: This follows the exact same pattern as Similar Commits #1 (eni driver) and #2 (aic94xx driver) which were both marked "YES" for backporting.
4. **Long-standing issue**: The driver has existed since at least 2005 (Linux 2.6.12-rc2), meaning this bug has been present for nearly 20 years.
5. **Minimal regression risk**: The changes only add error checking; they don't modify any existing logic paths.
6. **Proper error handling**: Both error paths are correctly implemented with appropriate cleanup sequences.
The commit clearly meets all stable tree criteria as an important bug fix with minimal risk and should be backported to protect users from potential DMA-related crashes.
