[PATCH] dmaengine: stm32-dma: fix potential race between pause and resume

From: Amelie Delaunay
Date: Mon Oct 24 2022 - 04:36:45 EST


When disabling dma channel, a TCF flag is set and as TCIE is enabled, an
interrupt is raised.
On a busy system, the interrupt may have latency and the user can ask for
dmaengine_resume while stm32-dma driver has not yet managed the complete
pause (backup of registers to restore state in resume).
To avoid such a case, instead of waiting the interrupt to backup the
registers, do it just after disabling the channel and discard Transfer
Complete interrupt in case the channel is paused.

Fixes: 099a9a94be0e ("dmaengine: stm32-dma: add device_pause/device_resume support")
