Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dma: pxa_dma: fix residue corner case
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2015 19:17:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1441905466-17459-2-git-send-email-robert.jarzmik@free.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1441905466-17459-1-git-send-email-robert.jarzmik@free.fr>

A very tiny temporal window exists in the residue calculation where :
 - upon entering residue calculation, the transfer is ongoing
 - when reading the current transfer pointer, it just changed to
   the "finisher/linker" descriptor

In this case, the he residue returned is thw whole transfer length
instead of 0. Fix it.

This appears almost in one extreme case, where the driver is used
by older clients which inquire for residue in interrupt context, such
as the xmsc91x ethernet driver, in a tight loop :
  interrupt_handler()
    dmaengine_submit()
    do {
      dmaengine_tx_status()
    } while (residue > 0 || status != DMA_ERROR)
