[PATCH RESEND 2/4] dma: dma-axi-dmac: fix HW scatter-gather not looking at the queue

From: Nuno Sá via B4 Relay
Date: Tue Nov 04 2025 - 11:22:18 EST


From: Nuno Sá <nuno.sa@xxxxxxxxxx>

For HW scatter gather transfers we still need to look for the queue. The
HW is capable of queueing 3 concurrent transfers and if we try more than
that we'll get the submit queue full and should return. Otherwise, if we
go ahead and program the new transfer, we end up discarding it.

Fixes: e97dc7435972 ("dmaengine: axi-dmac: Add support for scatter-gather transfers")
