[PATCH 3/7] dmaengine: dw-edma: Clean up vchan descriptors on termination
From: Koichiro Den
Date: Fri Jul 10 2026 - 04:12:41 EST
dw-edma resets channel state from terminate_all() paths, but pending
virt-dma descriptors can remain on the submitted and issued lists. A later
issue_pending() may then restart work that the client already terminated,
possibly into buffers that were already reused. Descriptors that are never
restarted leak instead.
Move issued and submitted descriptors to the terminated list whenever a
termination request completes. Also release virt-dma resources from
free_chan_resources().
If termination was deferred because the channel was still running, wait
until the STOP path deconfigures the channel before synchronizing or
freeing virt-dma resources. Otherwise dmaengine_terminate_sync() can return
before the deferred STOP cleanup has moved issued descriptors to the
terminated list and before the channel is known to have stopped.
The old free_chan_resources() loop usually broke as soon as terminate_all()
returned zero, so it did not effectively spin until the timeout. This wait
can now last until the existing timeout, so use cond_resched() instead of
busy-polling with cpu_relax(), and warn if the timeout expires.
Fixes: e63d79d1ffcd ("dmaengine: Add Synopsys eDMA IP core driver")

Changes in v2:
- Poll with usleep_range() (and include linux/delay.h for it) instead
of a cond_resched() busy loop in the termination wait; each
iteration does an MMIO read that is a non-posted round trip on
remote setups.
- Split out into this preparation series (was patch 04/17 of
the dynamic LL appends v1).
- Let dw_edma_free_chan_resources() reuse dw_edma_device_synchronize()
instead of open-coding the same wait-and-synchronize sequence.
