Subject: [PATCH v6 8/8] dmaengine: sh: rz-dmac: Add device_{pause,resume}() callbacks

From: Claudiu Beznea <claudiu.beznea.uj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add support for device_{pause, resume}() callbacks. These are required by the RZ/G2L SCIFA driver.

Changes in v6:
- set CHCTRL_SETSUS for pause and CHCTRL_CLRSUS for resume
- dropped read-modify-update approach for CHCTRL updates as the
HW returns zero when reading CHCTRL
- moved the read_poll_timeout_atomic() under spin lock to
ensure avoid any races b/w pause and resume functionalities

Changes in v5:
- used suspend capability of the controller to pause/resume
the transfers

Probably first you need to check CHSTAT_EN first before setting CHCTRL_SETSUS??

As per the hardware manual

"
Suspends the current DMA transfer. Setting this bit to 1 when 1 is set in EN of the
CHSTAT_n/nS register can suspend the current DMA transfer."

OK, I'll update it as follows:

static int rz_dmac_device_pause(struct dma_chan *chan)
{
struct rz_dmac_chan *channel = to_rz_dmac_chan(chan);
u32 val;

guard(spinlock_irqsave)(&channel->vc.lock);

val = rz_dmac_ch_readl(channel, CHSTAT, 1);
if (!(val & CHSTAT_EN))
return 0;

rz_dmac_ch_writel(channel, CHCTRL_SETSUS, CHCTRL, 1);
return read_poll_timeout_atomic(rz_dmac_ch_readl, val,
(val & CHSTAT_SUS), 1, 1024,
false, channel, CHSTAT, 1);
}

This avoids timeouts reported by read_poll_timeout_atomic() when pause is set for a disabled channel.

Similarly, first you need to check CHSTAT_SUS bit first and then clear suspend state.


Clears the suspend status. Setting this bit to 1 when 1 is set in SUS of the
CHSTAT_n/nS register can clear the suspend status.

I'll update this one as follows, to keep the code simple:

static int rz_dmac_device_resume(struct dma_chan *chan)
{
struct rz_dmac_chan *channel = to_rz_dmac_chan(chan);
u32 val;

guard(spinlock_irqsave)(&channel->vc.lock);

/* Do not check CHSTAT_SUS but rely on HW capabilities. */
rz_dmac_ch_writel(channel, CHCTRL_CLRSUS, CHCTRL, 1);
return read_poll_timeout_atomic(rz_dmac_ch_readl, val,
!(val & CHSTAT_SUS), 1, 1024,
false, channel, CHSTAT, 1);
}

With this:

1/ in case the channel is not suspended and the CHCTRL_CLRSUS is set, the read_poll_timeout_atomic() will not timeout, as the default value of the CHSTAT_SUS is zero.

2/ in case the channel is suspended and the CLRSUS is set, it is behaving as expected but without an extra check of the CHSTAT_SUS bit before setting CHCTRL_CLRSUS.

Thank you,
Claudiu
