This is
WARN_ON(!cdd->chan_busy[desc_num]);
at the end of cppi41_stop_chan() right? So you get the warning because
you tried to stop a channel which was not busy. But then you should not
be called at all because cppi41_dma_channel_abort() shouldn't call dma
driver on idle channels. So it should complete at some point.

How does your suspend & resume thingy work? Is it completly shutdown
i.e. powered off? According to you earlier patches I would assume so. In
that case the request is not enqueued and there is nothing to be removed
from the engine, right?
With the change you somehow get an interrupt that cleans up that slot.
If you trigger TD bits for a random channel you get atleast the teardown
descriptor. But then you don't complain about the WARN_ON() about
missing / wrong desc_phys.
In general this works like this:
- descriptor is busy / in progress.
The TEAR-DOWN bits have to be set a few times. The hw returns the
teardown descriptor and the descriptor that has been enqueued
- descriptor is queued but not busy / in use
Setting the TEAR-DOWN bit once seems to be enough. The hw returns
_only_ the teardown descriptor. The transfer descriptor remains pushed
onto the queue like it has been never consumed. A pop cleans it up,
the complete queue is empty. (Warning: reading the queue counter leads
to a pop! So checking if the queue counter increments after pushing
something to it is a bad idea).
The whole thing has been tested by manipulating the USB storage driver
to enqueue more / less data then required by the protocol leading to a
stall followed by an abort of the transfer. Let me re-do your suspend
with the patches you made so far to check what is going on and if the
"normal" transfer cancel is still working.
