From: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@xxxxxxxxxxx> Current rcar_dmac_desc_put() is using list_add_tail() in order to push used descriptor to list of free descriptors, and next DMA transfer try to reuse it from this list. But because it is using *_tail(), this reuse effect can't be obtained without using all of them. For a longer-term solution, we should allocate hardware descriptors using GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_NOWAIT, but it is difficult today. This patch uses list_add() instead of list_add_tail() for short-term solution.
