commit 341198eda7 upstream.
Once the "ld_queue" list is not empty, next descriptor will migrate
into "ld_active" list. The "desc" variable will be overwritten
during that transition. And later the dmaengine_desc_get_callback_invoke()
will use it as an argument. As result we invoke wrong callback.
That behaviour was in place since:
commit fcaaba6c71 ("dmaengine: imx-dma: fix callback path in tasklet").
But after commit 4cd13c21b2 ("softirq: Let ksoftirqd do its job")
things got worse, since possible delay between tasklet_schedule()
from DMA irq handler and actual tasklet function execution got bigger.
And that gave more time for new DMA request to be submitted and
to be put into "ld_queue" list.
It has been noticed that DMA issue is causing problems for "mxc-mmc"
driver. While stressing the system with heavy network traffic and
writing/reading to/from sd card simultaneously the timeout may happen:
10013000.sdhci: mxcmci_watchdog: read time out (status = 0x30004900)
That often lead to file system corruption.
