[PATCH] Revert "dmaengine: pl330: add DMA_PAUSE feature"

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

 



This reverts commit 88987d2c7534a0269f567fb101e6d71a08f0f01d.

The pl330.c pause implementation violates the dmaengine requirement
for no data loss, since it relies on the DMAKILL
instruction.  However, DMAKILL discards in-flight data from the
dma controller's fifo.  This is documented in the dma-330 manual
and I have observed it with hardware doing device-to-memory burst
transfers.  The discarded data may or may not show up in the
residue count, depending on timing (resulting in data corruption
effectively).
