[PATCH v4 3/3] dmaengine: xilinx_dma: Fix race condition in the driver for multiple descriptor scenario

Wed Jan 4 05:35:54 PST 2017


When driver is handling AXI DMA SoftIP
When user submits multiple descriptors back to back on the S2MM(recv)
side with the current driver flow the last buffer descriptor next bd
points to a invalid location resulting the invalid data or errors in the
DMA engine.

This patch fixes this issue by creating a BD Chain during
channel allocation itself and use those BD's.
