[PATCH] dmaengine: xilinx_dma: Add support for multiple buffers

From: Jose Abreu
Date: Thu Dec 15 2016 - 09:35:22 EST


Xilinx VDMA supports multiple framebuffers. This patch
adds correct handling for the scenario where multiple
framebuffers are available in the HW and parking mode is
not set.

We corrected these situations:
1) Do not start VDMA until all the framebuffers
have been programmed with a valid address.
2) Restart variables when VDMA halts/resets.
3) Halt channel when all the framebuffers have
finished and there is not anymore segments
pending.
4) Do not try to overlap framebuffers until they
are completed.

All these situations, without this patch, can lead to data
corruption and even system memory corruption. If, for example,
user has a VDMA with 3 framebuffers, with direction
DMA_DEV_TO_MEM and user only submits one segment, VDMA will
write first to the segment the user submitted BUT if the user
doesn't submit another segment in a timelly manner then VDMA
will write to position 0 of system mem in the following VSYNC.
