Subject: [PATCH v6 00/10] dmaengine: miscellaneous fixes for ioat, switchtec_dma and plx_dma
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 00:21:42 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902062153.31048-1-logang@deltatee.com> (raw)
This is the latest series of fixes that has been rebased onto v7.3-rc1.
After getting more Sashiko feedback on the two problematic patches I
have to eat crow and appologize. Frank was correct about them and I
was a bit too stubborn. Sorry about that. I have dropped those two
patches in this series so hopefully it can go in quickly.
Please note: I'm going to be on vacation starting Friday the 4th until
the 15th so if there is any feedback in that window I'll respond when
I get back.
Thanks,
Logan
Changes since v5:
* Dropped the two patches that skipped freeing the descriptor rings
when the channel could not be confirmed halted ("always clear DMA
base registers on chan_stop()" and "halt channel on
alloc_chan_resources error"), per Frank's recommendation. All
remaining patches are unchanged.
Changes since v4:
* Rebased onto v7.3-rc1.
* Added paragraph to patches 3 and 4 to make clear that they are
leaking memory in favour of preventing theoretically buggy hardware
from trashing re-used memory. I think this is the best thing to do.
Changes since v3:
* Add a patch (3) making switchtec_dma_chan_stop() clear the DMA base
registers even when halt_channel() times out, and return the halt
result. switchtec_dma_free_chan_resources() (patch 3) and the
alloc_chan_resources() error path (patch 4) now skip freeing the
descriptor rings when the halt wasn't confirmed. This will leak some
memory on tear down but that avoids broken hardware from scribbling
on memory that may have been freed and reallocated. (Per Sashiko)
* Remove each channel's list entry in switchtec_dma_chans_free()
(patch 5), immediately before the memory is freed, instead of in
switchtec_dma_chans_disable() (patch 8), which now only frees the
channel status IRQ. (Per Sashiko)
* Collected Reviewed-by tags from Frank and applied one of his
commit message suggestions.
Changes since v2:
* Fixed a race when unlisting the channels in the error path.
The interrupt needed to be disabled before hand. (Per Sashiko)
* Picked up Acked-by from Dave Jiang on the two ioat patches.
Changes since v1:
* Added a fix for switchtec_dma_alloc_chan_resources()'s error path
calling disable_channel() instead of properly halting the channel
before freeing the descriptor rings. (Per Sashiko)
* Added a fix for switchtec-dma channel structs being freed without
being removed from dma_dev->channels on a registration failure,
while the channel status IRQ is still live. (Per Sashiko)
* Added a fix for switchtec_dma_remove() using swdma_dev after it may
already have been freed by dma_async_device_unregister(). (Per
Sashiko)
* Added a fix for chan_status_irq being freed with the wrong API, and
a valid vector index of 0 being incorrectly treated as unset.
(Per Sashiko)
* Made switchtec_dma_chans_release() void, since nothing checked its
return value. (Noticed while reviewing the code for these changes).
