dmaengine: refactor dmaengine around dma_async_tx_descriptor
The current dmaengine interface defines mutliple routines per operation, i.e. dma_async_memcpy_buf_to_buf, dma_async_memcpy_buf_to_page etc. Adding more operation types (xor, crc, etc) to this model would result in an unmanageable number of method permutations. Are we really going to add a set of hooks for each DMA engine whizbang feature? - Jeff Garzik The descriptor creation process is refactored using the new common dma_async_tx_descriptor structure. Instead of per driver do_<operation>_<dest>_to_<src> methods, drivers integrate dma_async_tx_descriptor into their private software descriptor and then define a 'prep' routine per operation. The prep routine allocates a descriptor and ensures that the tx_set_src, tx_set_dest, tx_submit routines are valid. Descriptor creation and submission becomes: struct dma_device *dev; struct dma_chan *chan; struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx; tx = dev->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_flag) tx->tx_set_src(dma_addr_t, tx, index /* for multi-source ops */) tx->tx_set_dest(dma_addr_t, tx, index) tx->tx_submit(tx) In addition to the refactoring, dma_async_tx_descriptor also lays the groundwork for definining cross-channel-operation dependencies, and a callback facility for asynchronous notification of operation completion. Changelog: * drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech * fix ioat_dma_dependency_added, also caught by Andrew Morton * fix dma_sync_wait, change from Andrew Morton * uninline large functions, change from Andrew Morton * add tx->callback = NULL to dmaengine calls to interoperate with async_tx calls * hookup ioat_tx_submit * convert channel capabilities to a 'cpumask_t like' bitmap * removed DMA_TX_ARRAY_INIT, no longer needed * checkpatch.pl fixes * make set_src, set_dest, and tx_submit descriptor specific methods * fixup git-ioat merge * move group_list and phys to dma_async_tx_descriptor Cc: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Cc: Chris Leech <christopher.leech@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Shannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-by: David S.
