[PATCH v4 2/3] dmaengine: dw-edma: Configure remote interrupt routing

From: Koichiro Den

Date: Sat Sep 12 2026 - 13:41:04 EST


An endpoint function can reserve an endpoint-local channel while the RC
programs it through an exposed register window. Such a channel must route
interrupts remotely and ignore them on the endpoint.

Use dma_slave_config to set per-channel interrupt routing on idle channels
of a local eDMA or HDMA instance. Releasing a remote-routed channel
quiesces the hardware and drains its local IRQ before restoring default
routing.

The eDMA quiesce may stop a complete direction. The caller must own every
channel in that direction and stop remote programming first.

Changes in v4:
- Drop unnecessary READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for irq_mode. (Frank)
- Allow repeated dmaengine_slave_config() calls on idle channels
when the IRQ mode is unchanged. (Sashiko)
- Simplify IRQ mode handling, assuming the channel has no pending
interrupt status when its mode changes. Treat racing reads by
shared IRQ handlers and same-value stores on release as harmless.
- Support native HDMA.
