Re: [PATCH 4/4] dmaengine: xilinx_dma: Add device synchronisation callback

This was required as an answer to a very unusual race condition, whereby a
thread waiting on a completion signaled in a callback triggered by
dmaengine_desc_callback_invoke might immediately attempt to release the
DMA channel whilst the channel lock was still free. This would cause the
remaining descriptors to be deallocated, and xilinx_dma_chan_desc_cleanup
to perform an invalid memory access when attempting to traverse the rest
of the channel's done_list.

Now, when releasing a DMA channel, it will wait until the tasklet has
finished.

Hi,


Patch looks good, but basically the same got already applied a few weeks 
ago.

See 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vkoul/dmaengine.git/commit/?h=next&id=50db2050faf854cbaf4b6557a7a8ca21bff302ae
