Re: [PATCH] dmaengine: dmatest: fix timeout caused by kthread_stop

[Jie Hai <haijie1@huawei.com>]

Hi, Vinod Koul,

Stop an ongoing test by
"echo 0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run".
If the current code is executed inside the while loop
"while (!(kthread_should_stop() ||
  (params->iterations &&
  total_tests >= params->iterations)))"
and before the call of "wait_event_freezable_timeout",
the "wait_event_freezable_timeout" will be interrupted
and result in  "time out" for the test even if the test
is not completed.



Operations to the problem is as follows,
and the failures are probabilistic:

modprobe hisi_dma
modprobe dmatest

echo 0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/iterations
echo "dma0chan0" > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel
echo "dma0chan1" > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel
echo "dma0chan2" > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel
echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run
echo 0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run
