Please add a note about the locking requirements here, and for the other
new functions you've added.
You call this function from two places:
1) fsldma_cleanup_descriptor() - called with mod->desc_lock held
2) fsl_tx_status() - WITHOUT mod->desc_lock held
One of them is definitely wrong, and I'd bet that it is #2. You're
modifying ld_completed without a lock.

This comment is does not follow the coding style. It should be:
/*
* the client is allowed to attech dependent operations
* until 'ack' is set
*/
> + if (!async_tx_test_ack(&desc->async_tx)) {
> + /* move this slot to the completed */
Perhaps a better comment would be:
Move this descriptor to the list of descriptors which is complete, but
still awaiting the 'ack' bit to be set.

This should all be on one line. It is less than 80 characters wide.

This trick where you try to look at the hardware state to determine how
much to clean up has been a source of headaches in the past versions of
this driver.
It is much easier to reason about the state of the hardware and avoid
race conditions if you complete entire blocks of descriptors after the
hardware interrupts you to tell you it is finished.
This is the philosophy employed by the driver before your modifications:
ld_pending: a block of descriptors which is ready to run as soon as the
hardware becomes idle.
ld_running: a block of descriptors which is being executed by the
hardware.

You've made status from a very quick operation (compare two cookies)
into a potentially long running operation. It may now run callbacks,
unmap pages, etc.
I note that Documentation/crypto/async-tx-api.txt section 3.6
"Constraints" does say that async_*() functions cannot be called from
IRQ context. However, the DMAEngine API itself does not have anything to
say about IRQ context.
I expect fsl_tx_status() to be quick, and not potentially call other
arbitrary code.
Is it possible to leave this function unchanged?
Also note that if you leave this function unchanged, the locking error
pointed out above (fsldma_clean_completed_descriptor() is not called
with the lock held) goes away.
