device_terminate_all() is used to abort all the pending and ongoing transfers on the channel, it should be used just in the error path. Also, dmaengine_terminate_all() is deprecated and one should use dmaengine_terminate_async() or dmaengine_terminate_sync(). The method is not used in atomic context, use dmaengine_terminate_sync(). A secondary aspect of this patch is that it luckily avoids a deadlock between atmel_aes and at_hdmac.c. While in tasklet with the lock held, the dma controller invokes the client callback (dmaengine_terminate_all), which tries to get the same lock. The at_hdmac fix would be to drop the lock before invoking the client callback, a fix on at_hdmac will follow.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
