Please look into the residue field
/**
* struct dma_tx_state - filled in to report the status of
* a transfer.
* @last: last completed DMA cookie
* @used: last issued DMA cookie (i.e. the one in progress)
* @residue: the remaining number of bytes left to transmit
* on the selected transfer for states DMA_IN_PROGRESS and
* DMA_PAUSED if this is implemented in the driver, else 0
*/
struct dma_tx_state {
dma_cookie_t last;
dma_cookie_t used;
u32 residue;
};
Typically this is set to 0 when DMA_SUCCESS is returned for the
dmaengine_tx_status() API. But in your case I feel its perfectly valid to return
DMA_SUCCESS but with a non zero residue indiactaing how much was not transmitted
