commit6f6a23a213upstream. Commitadfa543e73("dmatest: don't use set_freezable_with_signal()") introduced a bug (that is in fact documented by the patch commit text) that leaves behind a dangling pointer. Since the done_wait structure is allocated on the stack, future invocations to the DMATEST can produce undesirable results (e.g., corrupted spinlocks). Commita9df21e34b("dmaengine: dmatest: warn user when dma test times out") attempted to WARN the user that the stack was likely corrupted but did not fix the actual issue. This patch fixes the issue by pushing the wait queue and callback structs into the the thread structure. If a failure occurs due to time, dmaengine_terminate_all will force the callback to safely call wake_up_all() without possibility of using a freed pointer.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
