There have been changes from both Shimoda-san and Frank Li that both changed some things and moved some things around within the code base, so this series no longer cleanly applies. However, I wanted the CI system to pick the branch for testing, as the sooner, the better. Hopefully, we can resolve the conflicts before Bjorn sends his Pull Request with 6.8 changes. Krzysztof

Reading the patch, it appears that (at least some) tegra and qcom boards currently causes a whole system hang, which IIUC, renders those boards unusable. So perhaps the new issues introduced by this series is preferable to a whole system hang. As such, I can understand the urgency to merge this series. However, at the very least, I think that it might be worth amending the commit message to mention that this will currently not deregister the dma device in a clean way, leading to e.g. superfluous entries in /sys/class/dma/ and debugfs warnings being printed to dmesg. Kind regards, Niklas

Let's take e.g. these error messages that this series introduces: [ 1000.714355] debugfs: File 'mf' in directory '/' already present! [ 1000.714890] debugfs: File 'wr_ch_cnt' in directory '/' already present! [ 1000.715476] debugfs: File 'rd_ch_cnt' in directory '/' already present! [ 1000.716061] debugfs: Directory 'registers' with parent '/' already present! These come from dw_edma_core_debugfs_on(), which is called by dw_edma_probe(). This is a direct result from your patch: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pci/pci.git/commit/?h=controller/dwc-ep&id=9ab5c8bb7a305135b1b6c65cb8db92b4acbef79d Which moves dw_pcie_edma_detect() from dw_pcie_ep_init_complete() to dw_pcie_ep_late_init() (since dw_pcie_edma_detect() calls dw_edma_probe()). So without your patch, those debugfs error messages are not seen. Thus, I do not think that it is sufficient to only modify the pci-epf-test driver to release the dma channels, as I don't see how that will avoid e.g. the debugfs error messages introduced by this patch. Kind regards, Niklas

I think adding dw_pcie_edma_remove() to the perst_assert() function would fix this issue. But I'm traveling this week, so couldn't verify it on the device. Bjorn, Krzysztof feel free to drop this series for 6.8. I will modify this series to address some other issues discussed so far and resubmit it for 6.9. - Mani > > Kind regards, > Niklas
