During DMA client(UART) stress testing, observed below crash: [ 167.041591] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00100108 [ 167.048818] pgd = ffffffc0de7ee000 [ 167.052222] [00100108] *pgd=0000000000000000 [ 167.056513] Internal error: Oops: 96000045 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 167.084048] Modules linked in: [ 167.087126] CPU: 0 PID: 1786 Comm: uarttest Tainted: G W 3.10.33-gb76f6f9 #5 [ 167.095040] task: ffffffc0a5ba6ac0 ti: ffffffc094380000 task.ti: ffffffc094380000 [ 167.102529] PC is at tegra_dma_tasklet+0x50/0xf4 [ 167.107148] LR is at tegra_dma_tasklet+0xc0/0xf4 [ 167.111767] pc : [<ffffffc00044acc8>] lr : [<ffffffc00044ad38>] pstate: 800001c5 [ 167.119155] sp : ffffffc094383a60 [ 167.122469] x29: ffffffc094383a60 x28: 0000000000000000 Issue: UART RX channel DMA completion EOC(End of completion) interrupt occurs and dma driver schedules tasklet() to execute callback function and empty the cb_desc (callback descriptor). Before dma driver tasklet runs, UART RX EORD (end of receive data) interrupt occurs. Here UART RX ISR handler calls tegra_dma_terminate_all() and re-configures the DMA for RX. While re-configuring, the cb_node data is re-initialized but the cb_desc list is not emptied. Now when dma driver tasklet callback function tries to check cb_desc and delete the cb_node (re-initialized node) kernel crashes. Fix: Empty the cb_desc data structure during tegra_dma_terminate_all() routine if there are no pending transfers.
