Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 3/4] dmaengine: dw: serialize error recovery with channel termination
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 19:00:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-181946@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261022-submit-dw-dma-synchronize-v1-v2-3-5244e94dca8c@gmail.com>
> The tasklet samples RAW.ERROR before taking the channel lock. A
> concurrent termination can empty the active list before dwc_handle_error()
> uses that cached error to select a descriptor. The list head is then
> interpreted as a descriptor. Even with an active descriptor, moving
> queue.next unconditionally can put an empty queue's head on the active
> list and pass it to dwc_dostart().
>
> Recheck the error status under the channel lock and stop the channel
> before selecting its failed descriptor. Only one transaction is issued
> at a time, so take that descriptor directly instead of scanning for
> completions first. The scan can otherwise complete it and start queued
> work before the error handler has identified the failed transaction.
>
> Detach the failed descriptor under the same lock and use the queued-start
> helper, which leaves an empty queue alone. Clear the software-LLP flag
> before restarting so a failed multiblock transfer does not prevent the
> next transaction from starting. Keep the completion callback outside the
> lock, with the detached descriptor owned by the tasklet.
