The bug was introduced by commit 162f43e31c5a376ec16336e5d0ac973373d54c89 (mmc: tmio: fix a deadlock) back in 2011 -- should probably have mentioned that in the changelog too.

Hi Sergei, Thanks for your patch.

But it adds complexity to the driver - one more condition to an if. Whereas, I think, it can be avoided if we just move calls to tmio_mmc_enable_dma(host, false); in tmio_mmc_start_dma_rx() and tmio_mmc_start_dma_tx() a couple of lines up - before clearing ->chan_rx and ->chan_tx pointers? That should work too at no cost. I think that would be a better fix, could you, please, try?

That should work > too at no cost. Well, it was my first variant. However, not knowing the hardware well, I deemed it not quite safe to clear the DMA bit before shutting down the DMA channels, so came up with the second version (which I consider more logically correct). > I think that would be a better fix, could you, please, try? I tried it but mystically fixing the PIO fallback makes DMA error less frequent. IIRC, I didn't see DMA error with the first variant of the fix, so I'll have to retry it... > Thanks > Guennadi WBR, Sergei -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I'm testing SH-Mobile SDHI driver in DMA mode with a new DMA controller using 'bonnie++' and getting DMA error after which the tmio_mmc_dma.c code falls back to PIO but all commands time out after that. It turned out that the fallback code calls tmio_mmc_enable_dma() with RX/TX channels already freed and pointers to them cleared, so that the function bails out early instead of clearing the DMA bit in the CTL_DMA_ENABLE register. Fixing the RX/TX channel check so that it takes place only when enabling DMA helps with the PIO fallback.
