[PATCH v3 5/9] dmaengine: dw-edma: Serialize channel state checks
From: Koichiro Den
Date: Wed Jul 15 2026 - 14:01:51 EST
pause() and resume() read and update channel state without holding vc.lock,
while the interrupt handlers update the same state under it. Take the same
lock around those state checks so that request, status, and configured stay
consistent.
For example, pause() can observe EDMA_ST_BUSY right before the interrupt
handler completes the final descriptor and moves the channel to
EDMA_ST_IDLE, and then record EDMA_REQ_PAUSE on an already idle channel. No
further interrupt will acknowledge the request, and since issue_pending()
requires EDMA_REQ_NONE, the channel is wedged for good: terminate_all()
leaves the stale request behind, so even reconfiguring the channel does not
recover it.
issue_pending() already runs under vc.lock, but it tests configured before
taking it. Move that test under the lock as well, so that the decision to
start work is made against the current value rather than one observed
before a concurrent terminate_all() deconfigured the channel.
