H A Dspi-bcm2835.c2527704d Thu Nov 29 09:45:24 CST 2018 Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de> spi: bcm2835: Synchronize with callback on DMA termination

Commit b36f09c3c441 ("dmaengine: Add transfer termination
synchronization support") deprecated dmaengine_terminate_all() in favor
of dmaengine_terminate_sync() and dmaengine_terminate_async() to avoid
freeing resources used by the DMA callback before its execution has
concluded.

Commit de92436ac40f ("dmaengine: bcm2835-dma: Use vchan_terminate_vdesc()
instead of desc_free") amended the BCM2835 DMA driver with an
implementation of ->device_synchronize(), which is a prerequisite for
dmaengine_terminate_sync(). Thus, clients of the DMA driver (such as
the BCM2835 SPI driver) may now be converted to the new API.

It is generally desirable to use the _sync() variant except in atomic
context. There is only a single occurrence where the BCM2835 SPI driver
calls dmaengine_terminate_all() in atomic context and that is in
bcm2835_spi_dma_done() (the RX DMA channel's callback) to terminate the
TX DMA channel. The TX DMA channel doesn't have a callback (yet), hence
it is safe to use the _async() variant there.
