This has been particularly troublesome for cases where we might want to temporarily pause all incoming events. For EDMA DMAC, there is no way to do any such pausing of events as the occurence of the "next" event is not software controlled. Using "edma_pause" in IRQ handlers doesn't help as by then the event in concern from the slave is already missed. Linking a dummy slot, is seen to absorb these events which we didn't want to miss. So we don't link to dummy, but instead leave it linked to NULL set, allow an error condition and detect the channel that missed it. Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes dma: edma: Link to dummy slot only for last SG list split Consider the case where we have a scatter-list like: SG1->SG2->SG3->SG4->SG5->SG6->Null For ex, for a MAX_NR_SG of 2, earlier we were splitting this as: SG1->SG2->Null SG3->SG4->Null SG5->SG6->Null Now we split it as SG1->SG2->Null SG3->SG4->Null SG5->SG6->Dummy This approach results in lesser unwanted interrupts that occur for the last list split. The Dummy slot has the property of not raising an error condition if events are missed unlike the Null slot. We are OK with this as we're done with processing the whole list once we reach Dummy.
