In general regular RADI-5 creation and creating file system works fine. Then I was doing some destructive tests to verify the stability that is where I am running into this issue. > Thanks, > Marri It can be a bit tricky to enable here are the steps: 1/ Disable other clients from consuming dma engines, i.e. set CONFIG_NET_DMA=n and CONFIG_ASYNC_TX_DMA=n 2/ Make sure that your driver loads before the dmatest module loads, otherwise it won't find any channels to test: modprobe your_driver modrpobe dmatest Note: If you build your driver and dmatest into the kernel dmatest will use late_initcall to initialize after your driver. 3/ Verify that the xor-threads are running.
