Ah, that's because the operation could be partly incomplete?

I think it would be better to call dma_complete with -ECANCELED, instead
of doing the same dbs->cancelled check twice.  For example, in dma_bdrv_cb:

    if (dbs->sg_cur_index == dbs->sg->nsg || ret < 0) {
        dma_complete(dbs, ret);
        return;
    }
    if (dbs->cancelled) {
        dma_complete(dbs, -ECANCELED);
        return;
    }

Yeah, that one looks useless too...
