If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From ee1cdcdae59563535485a5f56ee72c894ab7d7ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2016 15:59:42 +0200 Subject: dmaengine: dw: disable BLOCK IRQs for non-cyclic xfer From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ee1cdcdae59563535485a5f56ee72c894ab7d7ad upstream. The commit 2895b2cad6e7 ("dmaengine: dw: fix cyclic transfer callbacks") re-enabled BLOCK interrupts with regard to make cyclic transfers work. However, this change becomes a regression for non-cyclic transfers as interrupt counters under stress test had been grown enormously (approximately per 4-5 bytes in the UART loop back test). Taking into consideration above enable BLOCK interrupts if and only if channel is programmed to perform cyclic transfer.
