[PATCH v2 00/32] dmaengine: at_hdmac: Fix concurrency bugs and then convert to virt-dma

From: Tudor Ambarus
Date: Tue Oct 25 2022 - 05:03:28 EST


v2:
- reorder patches so that fixes come first -> easier to backport to
stable kernels.
- drop the devm_request_irq() patch as we had to disable the irq anyway
in remove() in order to avoid spurios IRQs. Using devm variant brings no
palpable benefit.
- reword pm_ptr commit message


at_hdmac driver had poor list handling and concurrency bugs.
We experienced calling of the completion call twice for the
same descriptor. Peter Rosin encountered the same while
reporting a different bug:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/13c6c9a2-6db5-c3bf-349b-4c127ad3496a@xxxxxxxxxx/

Two sets of tests were performed:
1/ tested just the fixes, to make sure everything is fine and the
concurrency bugs are squashed even without the conversion to virt-dma.
All went fine.
2/ tested the entire series including the conversion the virt-dma
All went fine.

I tested NAND (prep_dma_memcpy), MMC (prep_dma_slave_sg),
usart (cyclic mode), dmatest (memcpy, memset).
With the conversion to virt-dma I replaced the election of a new transfer
in the tasklet with the election of the new transfer in the interrupt
handler. We should have a shorter idle window as we remove the scheduling
latency of the tasklet. Using mtd_speedtest showed similar performances
when using NAND with DMA. That could be because of using a low timming
mode on NAND.
