This patch kill instructs the DMAC to immediately terminate execution of a thread. and then clear the interrupt status, at last, stop generating interrupts for DMA_SEV. to guarantee the next dma start is clean. otherwise, one interrupt maybe leave to next start and make some mistake. we can reporduce the problem as follows: DMASEV: modify the event-interrupt resource, and if the INTEN sets function as interrupt, the DMAC will set irq<event_num> HIGH to generate interrupt. write INTCLR to clear interrupt. DMA EXECUTING INSTRUCTS DMA TERMINATE | | | | ... _stop | | | spin_lock_irqsave DMASEV | | | | mask INTEN | | | DMAKILL | | | spin_unlock_irqrestore in above case, a interrupt was left, and if we unmask INTEN, the DMAC will set irq<event_num> HIGH to generate interrupt. to fix this, do as follows: DMA EXECUTING INSTRUCTS DMA TERMINATE | | | | ... _stop | | | spin_lock_irqsave DMASEV | | | | DMAKILL | | | clear INTCLR | mask INTEN | | | spin_unlock_irqrestore Signed-off-by: Sugar Zhang <sugar.zhang@rock-chips.com> Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vkoul@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
