You have terminated the channel. This means that dmaengine driver is free to clean up all the allocated descriptors on the channels and do whatever it decides to do with them. You have already terminated the channel so what is the point in querying the status of the cookie, which you shouldn't use anyway after invoking terminate_all() as its result is not correct. > /* st is still DMA_IN_PROGRESS but _I_ expect DMA_COMPLETE because > * it has been terminated / canceled > */ > > Both dma driver clean up all / terminate all descriptors as required but > _none_ of them completes the cookie.

What is the purpose of querying status.
