Furthermore, at least some of the initialization at the end of rcar_dmac_chan_probe() has to be moved before the rcar_dmac_isr_channel() IRQ handler registration. Let's not commit a quick hack but fix the problem correctly, we should ensure that all the initialization needed by IRQ handlers is performed before they get registered. > for (i = 0; i < dmac->n_channels; ++i) { > ret = rcar_dmac_chan_probe(dmac, &dmac->channels[i], > @@ -1839,29 +1863,6 @@ static int rcar_dmac_probe(struct platform_device > *pdev) * > * Default transfer size of 32 bytes requires 32-byte alignment. > */ > - engine = &dmac->engine; > - dma_cap_set(DMA_MEMCPY, engine->cap_mask); > - dma_cap_set(DMA_SLAVE, engine->cap_mask); > - > - engine->dev = &pdev->dev; > - engine->copy_align = ilog2(RCAR_DMAC_MEMCPY_XFER_SIZE); > - > - engine->src_addr_widths = widths; > - engine->dst_addr_widths = widths; > - engine->directions = BIT(DMA_MEM_TO_DEV) | BIT(DMA_DEV_TO_MEM); > - engine->residue_granularity = DMA_RESIDUE_GRANULARITY_BURST; > - > - engine->device_alloc_chan_resources = rcar_dmac_alloc_chan_resources; > - engine->device_free_chan_resources = rcar_dmac_free_chan_resources; > - engine->device_prep_dma_memcpy = rcar_dmac_prep_dma_memcpy; > - engine->device_prep_slave_sg = rcar_dmac_prep_slave_sg; > - engine->device_prep_dma_cyclic = rcar_dmac_prep_dma_cyclic; > - engine->device_config = rcar_dmac_device_config; > - engine->device_terminate_all = rcar_dmac_chan_terminate_all; > - engine->device_tx_status = rcar_dmac_tx_status; > - engine->device_issue_pending = rcar_dmac_issue_pending; > - engine->device_synchronize = rcar_dmac_device_synchronize; > - > ret = dma_async_device_register(engine); > if (ret < 0) > goto error; -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- 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
