TDMA driver DMA Client

1.
dmaengine_prep()

2.
tegra_dma_desc_get()
dma_desc = kzalloc()
...
tegra_dma_prep_slave_sg()
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&dma_desc->tx_list);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&dma_desc->cb_node);
list_add_tail(sgreq->node,
dma_desc->tx_list)

3.
dma_async_issue_pending()

4.
tegra_dma_tx_submit()
list_splice_tail_init(dma_desc->tx_list,
tdc->pending_sg_req)

5.
tegra_dma_isr()
...
handle_once_dma_done()
...
sgreq = list_first_entry(tdc->pending_sg_req)
list_del(sgreq->node);
...
list_add_tail(dma_desc->cb_node,
tdc->cb_desc);
list_add_tail(dma_desc->node,
tdc->free_dma_desc);
...
tasklet_schedule(&tdc->tasklet);
...

6.
timeout
dmaengine_terminate_async()

7.
tegra_dma_terminate_all()
if (list_empty(tdc->pending_sg_req))
return 0;

8.
dmaengine_prep()

9.
tegra_dma_desc_get()
list_for_each_entry(dma_desc,
tdc->free_dma_desc) {
list_del(dma_desc->node);
return dma_desc;
}
...
tegra_dma_prep_slave_sg()
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&dma_desc->tx_list);
INIT_LIST_HEAD(&dma_desc->cb_node);

*** tdc->cb_desc list is wrecked now! ***

list_add_tail(sgreq->node,
dma_desc->tx_list)
...

10.
same actions as in #4 #5 ...

11.
tegra_dma_tasklet()
dma_desc = list_first_entry(tdc->cb_desc)
list_del(dma_desc->cb_node);

eventual woopsie
