If the channel is idle, requesting status will report that the request has completed. It's also wrong for another reason. If txstate is NULL... Your original commit adding the original hack that you're now removing above says that this is to support polled operation: I'm not aware of DMA engine supporting such a mode. DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT is a mechanism where requests can be queued without an interrupt to allow batching. See the raid5/async_tx code, which queues a set of operations without DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT, with the final operation with DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT set. As the driver is reliant on interrupts to move to the next transfer, the patch which causes DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT to influence whether interrupts are sent is actually buggy, and will prevent several queued DMA operations to fail. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dmaengine" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
