commit b9f960201249f20deea586b4ec814669b4c6b1c0 upstream.
Under some circumstances, i.e. when test is still running and about to
time out and user runs, for example,
grep -H . /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/*
the iterations parameter is not respected and test is going on and on until
user gives
echo 0 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run
This is not what expected.
The history of this bug is interesting. I though that the commit
2d88ce76eb98 ("dmatest: add a 'wait' parameter")
is a culprit, but looking closer to the code I think it simple revealed the
broken logic from the day one, i.e. in the commit
0a2ff57d6fba ("dmaengine: dmatest: add a maximum number of test iterations")
which adds iterations parameter.
So, to the point, the conditional of checking the thread to be stopped being
first part of conjunction logic prevents to check iterations. Thus, we have to
always check both conditions to be able to stop after given iterations.
Since it wasn't visible before second commit appeared, I add a respective
Fixes tag.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
