The error message should be placed inside of tegra_dma_pause(). ... > +static int tegra_dma_stop_client(struct tegra_dma_channel *tdc) > +{ > + int ret; > + unsigned long status; > + u32 csr = tdc_read(tdc, TEGRA_GPCDMA_CHAN_CSR); > + > + /* > + * Change the client associated with the DMA channel > + * to stop DMA engine from starting any more bursts for > + * the given client and wait for in flight bursts to complete > + */ > + csr &= ~(TEGRA_GPCDMA_CSR_REQ_SEL_MASK); > + csr |= TEGRA_GPCDMA_CSR_REQ_SEL_UNUSED; > + tdc_write(tdc, TEGRA_GPCDMA_CHAN_CSR, csr); > + > + /* Wait for in flight data transfer to finish */ > + udelay(TEGRA_GPCDMA_BURST_COMPLETE_TIME); > + > + /* If TX/RX path is still active wait till it becomes > + * inactive > + */ > + > + ret = readl_relaxed_poll_timeout_atomic(tdc->tdma->base_addr + > + tdc->chan_base_offset + > + TEGRA_GPCDMA_CHAN_STATUS, > + status, > + !(status & (TEGRA_GPCDMA_STATUS_CHANNEL_TX | > + TEGRA_GPCDMA_STATUS_CHANNEL_RX)), > + 5, > + TEGRA_GPCDMA_BURST_COMPLETION_TIMEOUT); > + if (ret) { > + dev_err(tdc2dev(tdc), "Timeout waiting for DMA burst completion!\n"); > + tegra_dma_dump_chan_regs(tdc); > + } > + > + return ret; > +} > + > +static int tegra_dma_terminate_all(struct dma_chan *dc) > +{ > + struct tegra_dma_channel *tdc = to_tegra_dma_chan(dc); > + unsigned long flags; > + LIST_HEAD(head); > + int err; > + > + spin_lock_irqsave(&tdc->vc.lock, flags); > + > + if (tdc->dma_desc) { > + err = tdc->tdma->chip_data->hw_support_pause ? > + tegra_dma_pause(tdc) : > + tegra_dma_stop_client(tdc); The canonical coding style is: if (tdc->tdma->chip_data->hw_support_pause) err = tegra_dma_pause(tdc); else err = tegra_dma_stop_client(tdc); But why do you need to pause at all here and can't use tegra_dma_stop_client() even if pause is supported?
