[PATCH] dma: mv_xor: Flush descriptors before activating a channel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We need to use writel() instead of writel_relaxed() when starting
a channel, to ensure all the descriptors have been flushed before
the activation.

While at it, remove the unneeded read-modify-write and make the
code simpler.

This fix applies cleanly since commit:
5733c38 mv_xor: use {readl, writel}_relaxed instead of __raw_{readl, writel}

Given the fix is applicable since the introduction of the driver,
in v2.6.27, it should be marked accordingly. I can provide a backport
in due time.
