IMX SDMA scheduling issue

[saurabh206]

Hi

We are using Linux kernel 3.10.17.

We are seeing following crash log while trying to play sequence of audio file with CSI data capture.

I hope the enclosed recommendations how to debug kernel crashes help.

Have a great day,

Hello Yuri

Can you provide more detail about http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/335436

"imx-sdma cyclic handling to report residue"

Do we have any update for this in 3.10.17 kernel?

Thanks

Saurabh

[Yuri]

  Alas. I do not have information about the imx-sdma cyclic handling.
