Frederic informed us privately about this issue. I tried to hunt the root cause but mostly (there was one observation but apparently seems it is not related to this issue) nothing looks wrong. > Eg., did the driver mistakenly re-order i/o (DMA occurred after PIO)? I have few tracing dumps which Frederic provides to me, but I couldn't see such a problem. Maybe I missed it. My commit 9119fba0cfed introduces interleaved IO (DMA/PIO) which makes it like DMA -> PIO -> DMA -> ... > Or, might there be some race condition in the dmaengine driver on > this > platform? There is [1] might be a clue, though I don't think it's directly related.
