Sparse reports the following with regard to locking in the tegra_dma_global_pause() and tegra_dma_global_resume() functions: drivers/dma/tegra20-apb-dma.c:362:9: warning: context imbalance in 'tegra_dma_global_pause' - wrong count at exit drivers/dma/tegra20-apb-dma.c:366:13: warning: context imbalance in 'tegra_dma_global_resume' - unexpected unlock The warning is caused because tegra_dma_global_pause() acquires a lock but does not release it. However, the lock is released by tegra_dma_global_resume(). These pause/resume functions are called in pairs and so it does appear to work. This global pause is used on early tegra devices that do not have an individual pause for each channel. The lock appears to be used to ensure that multiple channels do not attempt to assert/de-assert the global pause at the same time which could cause the DMA controller to be in the wrong paused state. Rather than locking around the entire code between the pause and resume, employ a simple counter to keep track of the global pause requests. By using a counter, it is only necessary to hold the lock when pausing and unpausing the DMA controller and hence, fixes the sparse warning. Please note that for devices that support individual channel pausing, the DMA controller lock is not held between pausing and unpausing the channel. Hence, this change will make the devices that use the global pause behave in the same way, with regard to locking, as those that don't.
