[PATCH 00/13] dmaengine: at_xdmac: Various fixes

From: Tudor Ambarus
Date: Tue Nov 16 2021 - 06:20:47 EST


Bugs identified when debugging a hang encountered when operating
an octal DTR SPI NOR memory. The culprit was the flash, not the
DMA driver, so all these bugs are not experienced in real life,
they are all theoretical fixes. Nevertheless the bugs are there
and I think they should be squashed.

If all of you consider that all these are worthy to be applied,
I would suggest that all the patches to be taken via an immutable
branch of the DMA tree. The serial patches depend on the first patch
in the series. The DMA transactions are no longer started at tx_submit()
level, but at device_issue_pending() level, as the DMA API requires.
The atmel serial driver wrongly assumed that the DMA transactions
are started at tx_submit() level and never called dma_async_issue_pending().
Applying first patch, but not the atmel_serial patches will break
atmel_serial when using DMA.

Tudor Ambarus (13):
dmaengine: at_xdmac: Don't start transactions at tx_submit level
tty: serial: atmel: Check return code of dmaengine_submit()
tty: serial: atmel: Call dma_async_issue_pending()

issue_pending
