The data write requests may require an FIFO flush when the DMA transaction ends. This is handled by a DMA callback pxamci_dma_irq(). After flushing the FIFO the MCI controller generates the DATA_TRAN_DONE interrupt. Problem is the DATA_TRAN_DONE interrupt will be generated when the write data length is divisible by the FIFO size (no flush is required). And in this case the DMA callback can be called long time after the DATA_TRAN_DONE interrupt (as the DMA callback is realised by a tasklet, it can even stack). When the DMA callback is finally called there can already be a different type of the transaction (another data read or write request). The dmaengine_tx_status() will be called for a wrong DMA transaction and in some case it returns DMA_IN_PROGRESS, which the code recognize as an error and ends a running DMA and halts the MCI controller. The problem presents itself under heavy (interrupt) load with a high MCI traffic with this message: mmc0: DMA error on tx channel The fix must obey these situations: - Any command will erase the FIFO - Data writes divisible by the FIFO size will (probably) automatically generate a DATA_TRAN_DONE interrupt - Data writes with a nonzero FIFO remainder must be flushed and then MCI generates a DATA_TRAN_DONE interrupt - Data reads do not require a flush but they will generate a DATA_TRAN_DONE interrupt The fix changes the DATA_TRAN_DONE interrupt enable from read/write requests to read requests. The DATA_TRAN_DONE interrupt for a write request is enabled in the DMA callback, this assures a DATA_TRAN_DONE interrupt will be always called after a callback (with or without an FIFO flush).
