[PATCH 15/23] dmaengine: sdxi: Per-context access key (AKey) table entry allocator

From: Nathan Lynch via B4 Relay

Date: Fri Apr 10 2026 - 09:10:45 EST


From: Nathan Lynch <nathan.lynch@xxxxxxx>

Each SDXI context has a table of access keys (AKeys). SDXI descriptors
submitted to a context may refer to an AKey associated with that
context by its index in the table. AKeys describe properties of the
access that the descriptor is to perform, such as PASID or a target
SDXI function, or an interrupt to trigger.

Use a per-context IDA to keep track of used entries in the table.
Provide sdxi_alloc_akey(), which claims an AKey table entry for the
caller to program directly; sdxi_akey_index(), which returns the
entry's index for programming into descriptors the caller intends to
submit; and sdxi_free_akey(), which clears the entry and makes it
available again.

The DMA engine provider is currently the only user and allocates a
single entry that encodes the access properties for copy operations
and a completion interrupt. More complex use patterns are possible
when user space gains access to SDXI contexts (not in this series).
