The dmaengine documentation states that device_terminate_all may be asynchronous and need not wait for the active transfers to stop. This allows us to move most of the functionality currently implemented in the sdma channel termination function to run in a worker, outside of any atomic context. Moving this out of atomic context has two benefits: we can now sleep while waiting for the channel to terminate, instead of busy waiting and the freeing of the dma descriptors happens with IRQs enabled, getting rid of a warning in the dma mapping code. As the termination is now async, we need to implement the device_synchronize dma engine function which simply waits for the worker to finish its execution.

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.
