Also this is what wikipedia says of idle task.

" In Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, the idle task has process ID
zero, and never exits.  "

but the results which i am getting show that this task does exist and is
initiating so many DMA transfers. what can be the possible reason for it or
is it that i am missing something?

I think you misread the sentence: the task does exiST, but never exiTS.
