11 | 11 | Below is a guide to device driver writers on how to use the Slave-DMA API of the |
---|
.. | .. |
---|
86 | 86 | - interleaved_dma: This is common to Slave as well as M2M clients. For slave |
---|
87 | 87 | address of devices' fifo could be already known to the driver. |
---|
88 | 88 | Various types of operations could be expressed by setting |
---|
89 | | - appropriate values to the 'dma_interleaved_template' members. |
---|
| 89 | + appropriate values to the 'dma_interleaved_template' members. Cyclic |
---|
| 90 | + interleaved DMA transfers are also possible if supported by the channel by |
---|
| 91 | + setting the DMA_PREP_REPEAT transfer flag. |
---|
90 | 92 | |
---|
91 | 93 | A non-NULL return of this transfer API represents a "descriptor" for |
---|
92 | 94 | the given transaction. |
---|
.. | .. |
---|
151 | 153 | Note that callbacks will always be invoked from the DMA |
---|
152 | 154 | engines tasklet, never from interrupt context. |
---|
153 | 155 | |
---|
| 156 | + **Optional: per descriptor metadata** |
---|
| 157 | + |
---|
| 158 | + DMAengine provides two ways for metadata support. |
---|
| 159 | + |
---|
| 160 | + DESC_METADATA_CLIENT |
---|
| 161 | + |
---|
| 162 | + The metadata buffer is allocated/provided by the client driver and it is |
---|
| 163 | + attached to the descriptor. |
---|
| 164 | + |
---|
| 165 | + .. code-block:: c |
---|
| 166 | + |
---|
| 167 | + int dmaengine_desc_attach_metadata(struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *desc, |
---|
| 168 | + void *data, size_t len); |
---|
| 169 | + |
---|
| 170 | + DESC_METADATA_ENGINE |
---|
| 171 | + |
---|
| 172 | + The metadata buffer is allocated/managed by the DMA driver. The client |
---|
| 173 | + driver can ask for the pointer, maximum size and the currently used size of |
---|
| 174 | + the metadata and can directly update or read it. |
---|
| 175 | + |
---|
| 176 | + Becasue the DMA driver manages the memory area containing the metadata, |
---|
| 177 | + clients must make sure that they do not try to access or get the pointer |
---|
| 178 | + after their transfer completion callback has run for the descriptor. |
---|
| 179 | + If no completion callback has been defined for the transfer, then the |
---|
| 180 | + metadata must not be accessed after issue_pending. |
---|
| 181 | + In other words: if the aim is to read back metadata after the transfer is |
---|
| 182 | + completed, then the client must use completion callback. |
---|
| 183 | + |
---|
| 184 | + .. code-block:: c |
---|
| 185 | + |
---|
| 186 | + void *dmaengine_desc_get_metadata_ptr(struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *desc, |
---|
| 187 | + size_t *payload_len, size_t *max_len); |
---|
| 188 | + |
---|
| 189 | + int dmaengine_desc_set_metadata_len(struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *desc, |
---|
| 190 | + size_t payload_len); |
---|
| 191 | + |
---|
| 192 | + Client drivers can query if a given mode is supported with: |
---|
| 193 | + |
---|
| 194 | + .. code-block:: c |
---|
| 195 | + |
---|
| 196 | + bool dmaengine_is_metadata_mode_supported(struct dma_chan *chan, |
---|
| 197 | + enum dma_desc_metadata_mode mode); |
---|
| 198 | + |
---|
| 199 | + Depending on the used mode client drivers must follow different flow. |
---|
| 200 | + |
---|
| 201 | + DESC_METADATA_CLIENT |
---|
| 202 | + |
---|
| 203 | + - DMA_MEM_TO_DEV / DEV_MEM_TO_MEM: |
---|
| 204 | + |
---|
| 205 | + 1. prepare the descriptor (dmaengine_prep_*) |
---|
| 206 | + construct the metadata in the client's buffer |
---|
| 207 | + 2. use dmaengine_desc_attach_metadata() to attach the buffer to the |
---|
| 208 | + descriptor |
---|
| 209 | + 3. submit the transfer |
---|
| 210 | + |
---|
| 211 | + - DMA_DEV_TO_MEM: |
---|
| 212 | + |
---|
| 213 | + 1. prepare the descriptor (dmaengine_prep_*) |
---|
| 214 | + 2. use dmaengine_desc_attach_metadata() to attach the buffer to the |
---|
| 215 | + descriptor |
---|
| 216 | + 3. submit the transfer |
---|
| 217 | + 4. when the transfer is completed, the metadata should be available in the |
---|
| 218 | + attached buffer |
---|
| 219 | + |
---|
| 220 | + DESC_METADATA_ENGINE |
---|
| 221 | + |
---|
| 222 | + - DMA_MEM_TO_DEV / DEV_MEM_TO_MEM: |
---|
| 223 | + |
---|
| 224 | + 1. prepare the descriptor (dmaengine_prep_*) |
---|
| 225 | + 2. use dmaengine_desc_get_metadata_ptr() to get the pointer to the |
---|
| 226 | + engine's metadata area |
---|
| 227 | + 3. update the metadata at the pointer |
---|
| 228 | + 4. use dmaengine_desc_set_metadata_len() to tell the DMA engine the |
---|
| 229 | + amount of data the client has placed into the metadata buffer |
---|
| 230 | + 5. submit the transfer |
---|
| 231 | + |
---|
| 232 | + - DMA_DEV_TO_MEM: |
---|
| 233 | + |
---|
| 234 | + 1. prepare the descriptor (dmaengine_prep_*) |
---|
| 235 | + 2. submit the transfer |
---|
| 236 | + 3. on transfer completion, use dmaengine_desc_get_metadata_ptr() to get |
---|
| 237 | + the pointer to the engine's metadata area |
---|
| 238 | + 4. read out the metadata from the pointer |
---|
| 239 | + |
---|
| 240 | + .. note:: |
---|
| 241 | + |
---|
| 242 | + When DESC_METADATA_ENGINE mode is used the metadata area for the descriptor |
---|
| 243 | + is no longer valid after the transfer has been completed (valid up to the |
---|
| 244 | + point when the completion callback returns if used). |
---|
| 245 | + |
---|
| 246 | + Mixed use of DESC_METADATA_CLIENT / DESC_METADATA_ENGINE is not allowed, |
---|
| 247 | + client drivers must use either of the modes per descriptor. |
---|
| 248 | + |
---|
154 | 249 | 4. Submit the transaction |
---|
155 | 250 | |
---|
156 | 251 | Once the descriptor has been prepared and the callback information |
---|
.. | .. |
---|
168 | 263 | dmaengine_submit() will not start the DMA operation, it merely adds |
---|
169 | 264 | it to the pending queue. For this, see step 5, dma_async_issue_pending. |
---|
170 | 265 | |
---|
| 266 | + .. note:: |
---|
| 267 | + |
---|
| 268 | + After calling ``dmaengine_submit()`` the submitted transfer descriptor |
---|
| 269 | + (``struct dma_async_tx_descriptor``) belongs to the DMA engine. |
---|
| 270 | + Consequently, the client must consider invalid the pointer to that |
---|
| 271 | + descriptor. |
---|
| 272 | + |
---|
171 | 273 | 5. Issue pending DMA requests and wait for callback notification |
---|
172 | 274 | |
---|
173 | 275 | The transactions in the pending queue can be activated by calling the |
---|
.. | .. |
---|
184 | 286 | |
---|
185 | 287 | void dma_async_issue_pending(struct dma_chan *chan); |
