This is how the original dmatest functions. Each thread had a wait queue that it created so that it could go to sleep while the DMA transfer occurred. Each thread is dependent on its own DMA transaction for the wakeup call. Again, this is how the test originally worked. I just moved the wait queue from the stack (which was getting corrupted) to the thread context to allow for safe cleanup. In other words, I haven't really changed how the test works...just fixing a bug with the current implementation. > _______________________________________________ > linux-arm-kernel mailing list > linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org > http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel >

Ok, always takes me a bit to re-orient myself to this file since I only look at it once a year. This fix seems incomplete. The next test iteration after a timeout will now reuse the per-thread 'done' notification. If the engine that timed out still completes its dma it will collide with the next operation that is using the same 'done' variable. So it seems to me that the wait_queue_head should be global, and the 'done' variable should be either allocated per-operation or we should call dmaengine_terminate_all() after a timeout. Since not all engines implement a terminate I think the potential memory leak of a few 'done' variables is a better option. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dmaengine" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

My apologies. There is a change that addresses, I believe, your concern that was in v2 /* terminate all transfers on specified channels */ - if (ret) + if (ret || failed_tests) dmaengine_terminate_all(chan); Will clean up again, retest, and resubmit.

Thanks for your patience and instruction. Dan, I thought the patch was truncated, but it's all there in V3. I should have finished my coffee before responding.

Ah, sorry I overlooked that. What about the case where the dmaengine does not support the terminate_all operation? I think we should WARN in that case, but that's also where the per-operation allocation of a done variable can prevent done notifications leaking between operations. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dmaengine" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

For cherry picks the document does say to include multiple "Cc: stable" lines. So ignore what I said you're following the proper process. The way I've handled this is to just wait for the -stable team to notify that the patch does not apply and send a custom backport at that point. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dmaengine" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I just released v4 of this patch. Let me know if I misunderstood what you said above. I do acknowledge that container_of might be less desirable than just changing the argument that we pass to the callback.

Commit adfa543e7314 ("dmatest: don't use set_freezable_with_signal()") introduced a bug (that is in fact documented by the patch commit text) that leaves behind a dangling pointer. Since the done_wait structure is allocated on the stack, future invocations to the DMATEST can produce undesirable results (e.g., corrupted spinlocks). Commit a9df21e34b42 ("dmaengine: dmatest: warn user when dma test times out") attempted to WARN the user that the stack was likely corrupted but did not fix the actual issue. This patch fixes the issue by pushing the wait queue and callback structs into the the thread structure. If a failure occurs due to time, dmaengine_terminate_all will force the callback to safely call wake_up_all() without possibility of using a freed pointer.
