If we do % echo 1 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/run [ 115.851124] dmatest: Could not start test, no channels configured % echo dma8chan7 > /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/channel [ 127.563872] dmatest: Added 1 threads using dma8chan7 % cat /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/wait ... !!! HANG !!! ... The culprit is the commit6138f967bc("dmaengine: dmatest: Use fixed point div to calculate iops") which makes threads not to run, but pending and being kicked off by writing to the 'run' node. However, it forgot to consider 'wait' routine to avoid above mentioned case. In order to fix this, check for really running threads, i.e. with pending and done flags unset. It's pity the culprit commit hadn't updated documentation and tested all possible scenarios.

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.
