We've had similar problems like this before. Typically this is caused by the
dmaengine driver calling the complete callback when it shouldn't. E.g. after
dmaegine_terminate_all() has already been called for the channel. There is
also unfortunately a small chance condition (which needs some extensions to
the dmaengine API before we can fix it). But the chance for this race
condition to occur is really small and has only been observed on a 4 (or 8,
not sure) core system so far. Is the problem reproducible in your case? Also
do you have a know good kernel version?
