On prep, a spin lock is taken and the next entry in the circular buffer is filled. On submit, the valid bit is set in the hardware descriptor and the lock is released. The DMA engine is started (if it's not already running) when the client calls dma_async_issue_pending().

Allocate DMA coherent memory for the ring of DMA descriptors and program the appropriate hardware registers. A tasklet is created which is triggered on an interrupt to process all the finished requests. Additionally, any remaining descriptors are aborted when the hardware is removed or the resources freed. Use an RCU pointer to synchronize PCI device unbind.

Some PLX Switches can expose DMA engines via extra PCI functions on the upstream port. Each function will have one DMA channel. This patch is just the core PCI driver skeleton and dma engine registration.

The current descriptor is not on any list of the virtual DMA channel. Once sdma_terminate_all() is called when a descriptor is currently in flight then this one is forgotten to be freed. We have to call vchan_terminate_vdesc() on this descriptor to re-add it to the lists. Now that we also free the currently running descriptor we can (and actually have to) remove the current descriptor from its list also for the cyclic case.

In sdma_tx_status() we must first find the current sdma_desc. In cyclic mode we assume that this can always be found with vchan_find_desc(). This is true because do not remove the current descriptor from the desc_issued list: /* * Do not delete the node in desc_issued list in cyclic mode, otherwise * the desc allocated will never be freed in vchan_dma_desc_free_list */ if (!(sdmac->flags & IMX_DMA_SG_LOOP)) list_del(&vd->node); We will change this in the next step, so check if the current descriptor is the desired one also for the cyclic case.

vchan_vdesc_fini() shouldn't be called under a spin_lock. This is done in two places, once in vchan_terminate_vdesc() and once in vchan_synchronize(). Instead of freeing the vdesc right away, collect the aborted vdescs on a separate list and free them along with the other vdescs. The terminated descs are also freed in vchan_synchronize as done before this patch.

Sascha Hauer authored
Originally freeing descriptors was split into a locked and an unlocked part. The locked part in vchan_get_all_descriptors() collected all descriptors on a separate list_head. This was done to allow iterating over that new list in vchan_dma_desc_free_list() without a lock held. This became broken in 13bb26ae ("dmaengine: virt-dma: don't always free descriptor upon completion"). With this commit vchan_dma_desc_free_list() no longer exclusively operates on the separate list, but starts to put descriptors which can be reused back on &vc->desc_allocated. This list operation should have been locked, but wasn't. In the mean time drivers started to call vchan_dma_desc_free_list() with their lock held so that we now have the situation that vchan_dma_desc_free_list() is called locked from some drivers and unlocked from others. To clean this up we have to do two things: 1. Add missing locking in vchan_dma_desc_free_list() 2. Make sure drivers call vchan_dma_desc_free_list() unlocked This needs to be done atomically, so in this patch the locking is added and all drivers are fixed.

Don't allocate memory using the devm infrastructure and instead call kfree with the new dmaengine device_release call back. This ensures the structures are available until the last reference is dropped. We also need to ensure we call ioat_shutdown() in ioat_remove() so that all the channels are quiesced and further transaction fails.

Adding a reference count helps drivers to properly implement the unbind while in use case. References are taken and put every time a channel is allocated or freed. Once the final reference is put, the device is removed from the dma_device_list and a release callback function is called to signal the driver to free the memory.

The module reference is taken to ensure the callbacks still exist when they are called.

dma_chan_to_owner() dereferences the driver from the struct device to obtain the owner and call module_[get|put](). However, if the backing device is unbound before the dma_device is unregistered, the driver will be cleared and this will cause a NULL pointer dereference. Instead, store a pointer to the owner module in the dma_device struct so the module reference can be properly put when the channel is put, even if the backing device was destroyed first. This change helps to support a safer unbind of DMA engines. If the dma_device is unregistered in the driver's remove function, there's no guarantee that there are no existing clients and a users action may trigger the WARN_ONCE in dma_async_device_unregister() which is unlikely to leave the system in a consistent state. Instead, a better approach is to allow the backing driver to go away and fail any subsequent requests to it.
