[PATCH V0 15/21] accel/amdxdna: Prepare for AIE4 command submission
From: David Zhang
Date: Fri Sep 25 2026 - 21:37:49 EST
Prepare the data structures and completion wait helpers required for
AIE4 command submission:
- Define struct amdxdna_cmd_start_dpu in amdxdna_ctx.h for the
ERT_START_DPU payload.
- Extend union amdxdna_job_priv with an aie4 member for queue list
linkage and job state tracking.
- Implement smp_rmb() ordering and non-sleeping retry in get_read_index(),
returning the cached last_read_index on read tearing to prevent false
timeouts.
- Update check_cmd_done() and aie4_cmd_wait() to detect asynchronous
device disconnect and reset via check_cert_comp_linked().
