Originally freeing descriptors was split into a locked and an unlocked
part. The locked part in vchan_get_all_descriptors() collected all
descriptors on a separate list_head. This was done to allow iterating
over that new list in vchan_dma_desc_free_list() without a lock held.
This became broken in 13bb26ae88 ("dmaengine: virt-dma: don't always
free descriptor upon completion"). With this commit
vchan_dma_desc_free_list() no longer exclusively operates on the
separate list, but starts to put descriptors which can be reused back on
&vc->desc_allocated. This list operation should have been locked, but
wasn't.
In the mean time drivers started to call vchan_dma_desc_free_list() with
their lock held so that we now have the situation that
vchan_dma_desc_free_list() is called locked from some drivers and
unlocked from others.
To clean this up we have to do two things:
1. Add missing locking in vchan_dma_desc_free_list()
2. Make sure drivers call vchan_dma_desc_free_list() unlocked
This needs to be done atomically, so in this patch the locking is added
and all drivers are fixed.

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.
