[PATCH 08/15] dmaengine: edma: fix two faults which happen with the 8250_dma user

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Fri Aug 15 2014 - 13:44:53 EST


The rx path of the 8250_dma user in the RX-timeout case:
- it starts the RX transfer
if the rx-timeout interrupt occurs, it dmaengine_pause() the transfer
- step two is dmaengine_terminate_all() on this channel.
- based on dmaengine_tx_status() it learns the number of transferred
bytes.
- the rx interrupt occurs, it does not start the RX-transfer because
according to dmaengine_tx_status() the status of the current transfer
is still DMA_IN_PROGRESS because the earlier dmaengine_terminate_all()
did not reset this.
- on rx-timeout it invokes dmaengine_pause() again. This time, it
segfaults because the channel has no descriptor yet.

To make the upper case work better, this patch adds dma_cookie_complete()
to complete the cookie. Also it adds is an additional check for echan->edesc
in case the channel has no descriptor assigned.
