The current implementation of interleaved DMA API support multiple
frames only when the memory is contiguous by incrementing src_start/
dst_start members of interleaved template.
But, when the memory is non-contiguous it will restrict slave device
to not submit multiple frames in a batch. This patch handles this
issue by allowing the slave device to send array of interleaved dma
templates each having a different memory location.
This seems to be missing the numbers of templates you are sending,
wouldnt this
require sending ARRAY_SiZE too?
And why send double pointer?
Array size is not required, when we pass the double pointer. The last
element would be
pointed to NULL and we could get the number of templates from this
condition.
Here is an example snippet,
In slave device driver,
struct dma_interleaved_template **xts;
xts = kcalloc(frm_cnt+1, sizeof(struct
dma_interleaved_template *), GFP_KERNEL);
/* Error check for xts */
for (i = 0; i < frm_cnt; i++) {
xts[i] = kmalloc(sizeof(struct
dma_interleaved_template), GFP_KERNEL);
/* Error check for xts[i] */
}
xts[i] = NULL;
In DMA engine driver, we could get the number of frames by,
for (; xts[frmno] != NULL; frmno++);
I felt this way is simpler than adding an extra argument to the API.
Please let me know
your opinion and suggest me a better way.
I think Vinod's suggestion of passing in an array of interleaved_templates
and the size of the array is better than what you are currently doing.
Ok, Lars. I will update with this in my v4. Thanks.
Btw. you also need to update the current implementations and users of the
API accordingly.
Yes, I have updated them in this patch.
But you didn't update them accordingly to your proposed semantics. The
caller didn't NULL terminate the array and the drivers did blindly assume
there will always be exactly one transfer.
Thanks
Srikanth
