I added book keeping of whether or not the 8250-dma driver has an RX transfer pending or not so we don't BUG here if it calls dmaengine_pause() on a channel which has not a pending transfer. Guess what, this is not enough. The following can be triggered with a busy RX channel and hackbench in background: - DMA transfer completes. The callback is delayed via vchan_cookie_complete() into a tasklet so it das not happen asap. - hackbench keeps the system busy so the tasklet does not run "soon". - the UART collected enough data and generates an "timeout"-interrupt. Since 8250-dma *thinks* the DMA-transfer is still pending it tries to cancel it via invoking dmaengine_pause() first. This causes the segfault because echan->edesc is NULL now that the transfer completed (however the callback did not run yet). With this patch we don't BUG in the scenario described.
