[PATCH] dmaengine: fsl_raid: don't invoke client callback under desc_lock
From: Rosen Penev
Date: Sat Jul 18 2026 - 01:30:21 EST
fsl_re_dequeue() holds re_chan->desc_lock while calling
fsl_re_desc_done(), which synchronously invokes the DMA client completion
callback via dmaengine_desc_get_callback_invoke(). If that callback
submits new work (e.g. fsl_re_tx_submit()), it tries to reacquire the
same desc_lock and deadlocks on the spinlock.
Collect completed descriptors into a local list under the lock, then
release the lock and invoke the callbacks before moving the descriptors
to the ack queue.
Fixes: ad80da658bbc ("dmaengine: Driver support for FSL RaidEngine device.")
