[PATCH v4 20/25] dmaengine: sdxi: Add client context release with update and sync

From: Nathan Lynch via B4 Relay

Date: Tue Nov 03 2026 - 22:01:39 EST


From: Nathan Lynch <nathan.lynch@xxxxxxx>

Invalidate an unused, stopped client context and synchronize hardware
caches before freeing its resources. Add administrative update, reservation, and
completion-polling helpers.

Claim completion-status storage before making an irrevocable ring
reservation. Return the claim if reservation fails, and release it after
consuming a terminal result. A timeout leaves hardware ownership
unresolved, so retain that block in the administrative pool until context
teardown, even if the device writes its terminal signal later. Repeated
timeouts can exhaust the pool, causing further claims to time out rather
than reuse outstanding status blocks.

If update or synchronization fails, retain the context and its ID for
cleanup after function shutdown. Device-wide teardown frees clients after
the best-effort function stop/reset path without submitting additional
administrative operations.
