of: Add generic device tree DMA helpers This is based upon the work by Benoit Cousson [1] and Nicolas Ferre [2] to add some basic helpers to retrieve a DMA controller device_node and the DMA request/channel information. Aim of DMA helpers - The purpose of device-tree is to describe the capabilites of the hardware. Thinking about DMA controllers purely from the context of the hardware to begin with, we can describe a device in terms of a DMA controller as follows ... 1. Number of DMA controllers 2. Number of channels (maybe physical or logical) 3. Mapping of DMA requests signals to DMA controller 4. Number of DMA interrupts 5. Mapping of DMA interrupts to channels - With the above in mind the aim of the DT DMA helper functions is to extract the above information from the DT and provide to the appropriate driver. However, due to the vast number of DMA controllers and not all are using a common driver (such as DMA Engine) it has been seen that this is not a trivial task. In previous discussions on this topic the following concerns have been raised ... 1. How does the binding support devices with multiple DMA controllers? 2. How to support both legacy DMA controllers not using DMA Engine as well as those that support DMA Engine. 3. When using with DMA Engine how do we support the various implementations where the opaque filter function parameter differs between implementations? 4. How do we handle DMA channels that are identified with a string versus a integer? - Hence the design of the DMA helpers has to accomodate the above or align on an agreement what can be or should be supported. Design of DMA helpers 1. Registering DMA controllers In the case of DMA controllers that are using DMA Engine, requesting a channel is performed by calling the following function. struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask, dma_filter_fn filter_fn, void *filter_param); The mask variable is used to match a type of the device controller in a list of controllers. The filter_fn and filter_param are used to identify the required dma channel and return a handle to the dma channel of type dma_chan. From the examples I have seen, the mask and filter_fn are constant for a given DMA controller and therefore, we can specify these as controller specific data when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. The filter_param variable is of an unknown type and is typically specific to the DMA engine implementation for a given DMA controller. To allow some flexibility in the type and formating of this filter_param we employ an xlate to translate the device-tree binding information into the appropriate format. The xlate function used for a DMA controller can also be specified when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. Based upon the above, a function for registering the DMA controller with the DMA helpers now looks like the below. The data variable is used to pass a pointer to DMA controller specific data used by the xlate function. int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data) For example, in the case where DMA engine is used, we define the following structure (that stores the DMA engine capability mask and filter function) and pass this to the data variable in the above function. struct of_dma_filter_info { dma_cap_mask_t dma_cap; dma_filter_fn filter_fn; }; 2. Representing and requesting channel information Please see the dma binding documentation included in this patch for a description of how DMA controllers and client information should be represented with device-tree. For more information on how this binding came about please see [3]. In addition to this, feedback received from the Linux kernel summit showed a consensus (among those who attended) to use a name to identify DMA client information [4]. A DMA channel can be requested by calling the following function, where name is a required parameter used for identifying a DMA channel. This function has been designed to return a structure of type dma_chan to work with the DMA engine driver. Note that if DMA engine is used then drivers should be using the DMA engine API dma_request_slave_channel() (implemented in part 2 of this series, "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel") which will in turn call the below function if device-tree is present. The aim being to have a common DMA engine interface regardless of whether device tree is being used. struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np, char *name) 3. Supporting legacy devices not using DMA Engine These devices present a problem, as there may not be a uniform way to easily support them with regard to device tree. Ideally, these should be migrated to DMA engine. However, if this is not possible, then they should still be able to use this binding, the only constaint imposed by this implementation is that when requesting a DMA channel via of_dma_request_slave_channel(), it will return a type of dma_chan. This implementation has been tested on OMAP4430 using the kernel v3.6-rc5. I have validated that MMC is working on the PANDA board with this implementation. My development branch for testing on OMAP can be found here [5]. v6: - minor corrections in DMA binding documentation v5: - minor update to binding documentation - added loop to exhaustively search for a slave channel in the case where there could be alternative channels available v4: - revert the removal of xlate function from v3 - update the proposed binding format and APIs based upon discussions [3] v3: - avoid passing an xlate function and instead pass DMA engine parameters - define number of dma channels and requests in dma-controller node v2: - remove of_dma_to_resource API - make property #dma-cells required (no fallback anymore) - another check in of_dma_xlate_onenumbercell() function [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.devicetree/12022 [2] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.omap/73622 [3] http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=133582085008539&w=2 [4] http://pad.linaro.org/arm-mini-summit-2012 [5] https://github.com/jonhunter/linux/tree/dev-dt-dma Cc: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Cc: Benoit Cousson <b-cousson@ti.com> Cc: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Cc: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@intel.com> Cc: Dan Williams <djbw@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Hunter <jon-hunter@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@wwwdotorg.org> Acked-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@linux.intel.com>

dma:of: Use a mutex to protect the of_dma_list Currently the OF DMA code uses a spin lock to protect the of_dma_list from concurrent access and a per controller reference count to protect the controller from being freed while a request operation is in progress. If of_dma_controller_free() is called for a controller who's reference count is not zero it will return -EBUSY and not remove the controller. This is fine up until here, but leaves the question what the caller of of_dma_controller_free() is supposed to do if the controller couldn't be freed. The only viable solution for the caller is to spin on of_dma_controller_free() until it returns success. E.g. do { ret = of_dma_controller_free(dev->of_node) } while (ret != -EBUSY); This is rather ugly and unnecessary and none of the current users of of_dma_controller_free() check it's return value anyway. Instead protect the list by a mutex. The mutex will be held as long as a request operation is in progress. So if of_dma_controller_free() is called while a request operation is in progress it will be put to sleep and only wake up once the request operation has finished. This means that it is no longer possible to register or unregister OF DMA controllers from a context where it's not possible to sleep. But I doubt that we'll ever need this. Also rename of_dma_get_controller back to of_dma_find_controller.

* of_dma_find_controller - Get a DMA controller in DT DMA helpers list
of: dma: fix protection of DMA controller data stored by DMA helpers In the current implementation of the OF DMA helpers, read-copy-update (RCU) linked lists are being used for storing and accessing the DMA controller data. This part of implementation is based upon V2 of the DMA helpers by Nicolas [1]. During a recent review of RCU, it became apparent that the code is missing the required rcu_read_lock()/unlock() calls as well as synchronisation calls before freeing any memory protected by RCU. Having looked into adding the appropriate RCU calls to protect the DMA data it became apparent that with the current DMA helper implementation, using RCU is not as attractive as it may have been before. The main reasons being that ... 1. We need to protect the DMA data around calls to the xlate function. 2. The of_dma_simple_xlate() function calls the DMA engine function dma_request_channel() which employs a mutex and so could sleep. 3. The RCU read-side critical sections must not sleep and so we cannot hold an RCU read lock around the xlate function. Therefore, instead of using RCU, an alternative for this use-case is to employ a simple spinlock inconjunction with a usage count variable to keep track of how many current users of the DMA data structure there are. With this implementation, the DMA data cannot be freed until all current users of the DMA data are finished. This patch is based upon the DMA helpers fix for potential deadlock [2].

How do we handle DMA channels that are identified with a string versus a integer? - Hence the design of the DMA helpers has to accomodate the above or align on an agreement what can be or should be supported. Design of DMA helpers 1. Registering DMA controllers In the case of DMA controllers that are using DMA Engine, requesting a channel is performed by calling the following function. struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask, dma_filter_fn filter_fn, void *filter_param); The mask variable is used to match a type of the device controller in a list of controllers. The filter_fn and filter_param are used to identify the required dma channel and return a handle to the dma channel of type dma_chan. From the examples I have seen, the mask and filter_fn are constant for a given DMA controller and therefore, we can specify these as controller specific data when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. The filter_param variable is of an unknown type and is typically specific to the DMA engine implementation for a given DMA controller. To allow some flexibility in the type and formating of this filter_param we employ an xlate to translate the device-tree binding information into the appropriate format. The xlate function used for a DMA controller can also be specified when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. Based upon the above, a function for registering the DMA controller with the DMA helpers now looks like the below. The data variable is used to pass a pointer to DMA controller specific data used by the xlate function. int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data) For example, in the case where DMA engine is used, we define the following structure (that stores the DMA engine capability mask and filter function) and pass this to the data variable in the above function. struct of_dma_filter_info { dma_cap_mask_t dma_cap; dma_filter_fn filter_fn; }; 2. Representing and requesting channel information Please see the dma binding documentation included in this patch for a description of how DMA controllers and client information should be represented with device-tree. For more information on how this binding came about please see [3]. In addition to this, feedback received from the Linux kernel summit showed a consensus (among those who attended) to use a name to identify DMA client information [4]. A DMA channel can be requested by calling the following function, where name is a required parameter used for identifying a DMA channel. This function has been designed to return a structure of type dma_chan to work with the DMA engine driver. Note that if DMA engine is used then drivers should be using the DMA engine API dma_request_slave_channel() (implemented in part 2 of this series, "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel") which will in turn call the below function if device-tree is present. The aim being to have a common DMA engine interface regardless of whether device tree is being used. struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np, char *name) 3. Supporting legacy devices not using DMA Engine These devices present a problem, as there may not be a uniform way to easily support them with regard to device tree. Ideally, these should be migrated to DMA engine. However, if this is not possible, then they should still be able to use this binding, the only constaint imposed by this implementation is that when requesting a DMA channel via of_dma_request_slave_channel(), it will return a type of dma_chan. This implementation has been tested on OMAP4430 using the kernel v3.6-rc5. I have validated that MMC is working on the PANDA board with this implementation. My development branch for testing on OMAP can be found here [5]. v6: - minor corrections in DMA binding documentation v5: - minor update to binding documentation - added loop to exhaustively search for a slave channel in the case where there could be alternative channels available v4: - revert the removal of xlate function from v3 - update the proposed binding format and APIs based upon discussions [3] v3: - avoid passing an xlate function and instead pass DMA engine parameters - define number of dma channels and requests in dma-controller node v2: - remove of_dma_to_resource API - make property #dma-cells required (no fallback anymore) - another check in of_dma_xlate_onenumbercell() function [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.devicetree/12022 [2] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.omap/73622 [3] http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=133582085008539&w=2 [4] http://pad.linaro.org/arm-mini-summit-2012 [5] https://github.com/jonhunter/linux/tree/dev-dt-dma Cc: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Cc: Benoit Cousson <b-cousson@ti.com> Cc: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Cc: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@intel.com> Cc: Dan Williams <djbw@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Hunter <jon-hunter@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@wwwdotorg.org> Acked-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@linux.intel.com>

dma:of: Use a mutex to protect the of_dma_list Currently the OF DMA code uses a spin lock to protect the of_dma_list from concurrent access and a per controller reference count to protect the controller from being freed while a request operation is in progress. If of_dma_controller_free() is called for a controller who's reference count is not zero it will return -EBUSY and not remove the controller. This is fine up until here, but leaves the question what the caller of of_dma_controller_free() is supposed to do if the controller couldn't be freed. The only viable solution for the caller is to spin on of_dma_controller_free() until it returns success. E.g. do { ret = of_dma_controller_free(dev->of_node) } while (ret != -EBUSY); This is rather ugly and unnecessary and none of the current users of of_dma_controller_free() check it's return value anyway. Instead protect the list by a mutex. The mutex will be held as long as a request operation is in progress. So if of_dma_controller_free() is called while a request operation is in progress it will be put to sleep and only wake up once the request operation has finished. This means that it is no longer possible to register or unregister OF DMA controllers from a context where it's not possible to sleep. But I doubt that we'll ever need this. Also rename of_dma_get_controller back to of_dma_find_controller.

of: Add generic device tree DMA helpers This is based upon the work by Benoit Cousson [1] and Nicolas Ferre [2] to add some basic helpers to retrieve a DMA controller device_node and the DMA request/channel information. Aim of DMA helpers - The purpose of device-tree is to describe the capabilites of the hardware. Thinking about DMA controllers purely from the context of the hardware to begin with, we can describe a device in terms of a DMA controller as follows ... 1. Number of DMA controllers 2. Number of channels (maybe physical or logical) 3. Mapping of DMA requests signals to DMA controller 4. Number of DMA interrupts 5. Mapping of DMA interrupts to channels - With the above in mind the aim of the DT DMA helper functions is to extract the above information from the DT and provide to the appropriate driver. However, due to the vast number of DMA controllers and not all are using a common driver (such as DMA Engine) it has been seen that this is not a trivial task. In previous discussions on this topic the following concerns have been raised ... 1. How does the binding support devices with multiple DMA controllers? 2. How to support both legacy DMA controllers not using DMA Engine as well as those that support DMA Engine. 3. When using with DMA Engine how do we support the various implementations where the opaque filter function parameter differs between implementations? 4.

of: dma: fix protection of DMA controller data stored by DMA helpers In the current implementation of the OF DMA helpers, read-copy-update (RCU) linked lists are being used for storing and accessing the DMA controller data. This part of implementation is based upon V2 of the DMA helpers by Nicolas [1]. During a recent review of RCU, it became apparent that the code is missing the required rcu_read_lock()/unlock() calls as well as synchronisation calls before freeing any memory protected by RCU. Having looked into adding the appropriate RCU calls to protect the DMA data it became apparent that with the current DMA helper implementation, using RCU is not as attractive as it may have been before. The main reasons being that ... 1. We need to protect the DMA data around calls to the xlate function. 2. The of_dma_simple_xlate() function calls the DMA engine function dma_request_channel() which employs a mutex and so could sleep. 3. The RCU read-side critical sections must not sleep and so we cannot hold an RCU read lock around the xlate function. Therefore, instead of using RCU, an alternative for this use-case is to employ a simple spinlock inconjunction with a usage count variable to keep track of how many current users of the DMA data structure there are. With this implementation, the DMA data cannot be freed until all current users of the DMA data are finished. This patch is based upon the DMA helpers fix for potential deadlock [2].

So if the device tree nodes of a DMA controller and the dma_spec match this means that of_dma_nbcells and args_count will also match. So the second test in the of_dma_find_controller loop is redundant because given the first test yields true the second test will also yield true. So we can safely remove the test whether of_dma_nbcells matches args_count. Since this was the last user of the of_dma_nbcells field we can remove it altogether.

Design of DMA helpers 1. Registering DMA controllers In the case of DMA controllers that are using DMA Engine, requesting a channel is performed by calling the following function. struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask, dma_filter_fn filter_fn, void *filter_param); The mask variable is used to match a type of the device controller in a list of controllers.

dmaengine: of_dma: Support for DMA routers DMA routers are transparent devices used to mux DMA requests from peripherals to DMA controllers. They are used when the SoC integrates more devices with DMA requests then their controller can handle. DRA7x is one example of such SoC, where the sDMA can hanlde 128 DMA request lines, but in SoC level it has 205 DMA requests. The of_dma_router will be registered as of_dma_controller with special xlate function and additional parameters. The driver for the router is responsible to craft the dma_spec (in the of_dma_route_allocate callback) which can be used to requests a DMA channel from the real DMA controller. This way the router can be transparent for the system while remaining generic enough to be used in different environments.

of: Add generic device tree DMA helpers This is based upon the work by Benoit Cousson [1] and Nicolas Ferre [2] to add some basic helpers to retrieve a DMA controller device_node and the DMA request/channel information. Aim of DMA helpers - The purpose of device-tree is to describe the capabilites of the hardware. Thinking about DMA controllers purely from the context of the hardware to begin with, we can describe a device in terms of a DMA controller as follows ... 1. Number of DMA controllers 2. Number of channels (maybe physical or logical) 3. Mapping of DMA requests signals to DMA controller 4. Number of DMA interrupts 5. Mapping of DMA interrupts to channels - With the above in mind the aim of the DT DMA helper functions is to extract the above information from the DT and provide to the appropriate driver. However, due to the vast number of DMA controllers and not all are using a common driver (such as DMA Engine) it has been seen that this is not a trivial task. In previous discussions on this topic the following concerns have been raised ... 1. How does the binding support devices with multiple DMA controllers? 2. How to support both legacy DMA controllers not using DMA Engine as well as those that support DMA Engine. 3. When using with DMA Engine how do we support the various implementations where the opaque filter function parameter differs between implementations? 4. How do we handle DMA channels that are identified with a string versus a integer? - Hence the design of the DMA helpers has to accomodate the above or align on an agreement what can be or should be supported. Design of DMA helpers 1. Registering DMA controllers In the case of DMA controllers that are using DMA Engine, requesting a channel is performed by calling the following function. struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask, dma_filter_fn filter_fn, void *filter_param); The mask variable is used to match a type of the device controller in a list of controllers. The filter_fn and filter_param are used to identify the required dma channel and return a handle to the dma channel of type dma_chan. From the examples I have seen, the mask and filter_fn are constant for a given DMA controller and therefore, we can specify these as controller specific data when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. The filter_param variable is of an unknown type and is typically specific to the DMA engine implementation for a given DMA controller. To allow some flexibility in the type and formating of this filter_param we employ an xlate to translate the device-tree binding information into the appropriate format. The xlate function used for a DMA controller can also be specified when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. Based upon the above, a function for registering the DMA controller with the DMA helpers now looks like the below. The data variable is used to pass a pointer to DMA controller specific data used by the xlate function. int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data) For example, in the case where DMA engine is used, we define the following structure (that stores the DMA engine capability mask and filter function) and pass this to the data variable in the above function. struct of_dma_filter_info { dma_cap_mask_t dma_cap; dma_filter_fn filter_fn; }; 2. Representing and requesting channel information Please see the dma binding documentation included in this patch for a description of how DMA controllers and client information should be represented with device-tree. For more information on how this binding came about please see [3]. In addition to this, feedback received from the Linux kernel summit showed a consensus (among those who attended) to use a name to identify DMA client information [4]. A DMA channel can be requested by calling the following function, where name is a required parameter used for identifying a DMA channel. This function has been designed to return a structure of type dma_chan to work with the DMA engine driver. Note that if DMA engine is used then drivers should be using the DMA engine API dma_request_slave_channel() (implemented in part 2 of this series, "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel") which will in turn call the below function if device-tree is present. The aim being to have a common DMA engine interface regardless of whether device tree is being used. struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np, char *name) 3. Supporting legacy devices not using DMA Engine These devices present a problem, as there may not be a uniform way to easily support them with regard to device tree. Ideally, these should be migrated to DMA engine. However, if this is not possible, then they should still be able to use this binding, the only constaint imposed by this implementation is that when requesting a DMA channel via of_dma_request_slave_channel(), it will return a type of dma_chan.

of: dma: fix protection of DMA controller data stored by DMA helpers In the current implementation of the OF DMA helpers, read-copy-update (RCU) linked lists are being used for storing and accessing the DMA controller data. This part of implementation is based upon V2 of the DMA helpers by Nicolas [1]. During a recent review of RCU, it became apparent that the code is missing the required rcu_read_lock()/unlock() calls as well as synchronisation calls before freeing any memory protected by RCU. Having looked into adding the appropriate RCU calls to protect the DMA data it became apparent that with the current DMA helper implementation, using RCU is not as attractive as it may have been before. The main reasons being that ... 1. We need to protect the DMA data around calls to the xlate function. 2. The of_dma_simple_xlate() function calls the DMA engine function dma_request_channel() which employs a mutex and so could sleep. 3. The RCU read-side critical sections must not sleep and so we cannot hold an RCU read lock around the xlate function. Therefore, instead of using RCU, an alternative for this use-case is to employ a simple spinlock inconjunction with a usage count variable to keep track of how many current users of the DMA data structure there are. With this implementation, the DMA data cannot be freed until all current users of the DMA data are finished. This patch is based upon the DMA helpers fix for potential deadlock [2].

During a recent review of RCU, it became apparent that the code is missing the required rcu_read_lock()/unlock() calls as well as synchronisation calls before freeing any memory protected by RCU. Having looked into adding the appropriate RCU calls to protect the DMA data it became apparent that with the current DMA helper implementation, using RCU is not as attractive as it may have been before.

The of_dma_simple_xlate() function calls the DMA engine function dma_request_channel() which employs a mutex and so could sleep. 3. The RCU read-side critical sections must not sleep and so we cannot hold an RCU read lock around the xlate function. Therefore, instead of using RCU, an alternative for this use-case is to employ a simple spinlock inconjunction with a usage count variable to keep track of how many current users of the DMA data structure there are.

of: Add generic device tree DMA helpers This is based upon the work by Benoit Cousson [1] and Nicolas Ferre [2] to add some basic helpers to retrieve a DMA controller device_node and the DMA request/channel information. Aim of DMA helpers - The purpose of device-tree is to describe the capabilites of the hardware. Thinking about DMA controllers purely from the context of the hardware to begin with, we can describe a device in terms of a DMA controller as follows ... 1. Number of DMA controllers 2. Number of channels (maybe physical or logical) 3. Mapping of DMA requests signals to DMA controller 4. Number of DMA interrupts 5. Mapping of DMA interrupts to channels - With the above in mind the aim of the DT DMA helper functions is to extract the above information from the DT and provide to the appropriate driver. However, due to the vast number of DMA controllers and not all are using a common driver (such as DMA Engine) it has been seen that this is not a trivial task. In previous discussions on this topic the following concerns have been raised ... 1. How does the binding support devices with multiple DMA controllers? 2. How to support both legacy DMA controllers not using DMA Engine as well as those that support DMA Engine. 3. When using with DMA Engine how do we support the various implementations where the opaque filter function parameter differs between implementations? 4. How do we handle DMA channels that are identified with a string versus a integer? - Hence the design of the DMA helpers has to accomodate the above or align on an agreement what can be or should be supported. Design of DMA helpers 1. Registering DMA controllers In the case of DMA controllers that are using DMA Engine, requesting a channel is performed by calling the following function. struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask, dma_filter_fn filter_fn, void *filter_param); The mask variable is used to match a type of the device controller in a list of controllers. The filter_fn and filter_param are used to identify the required dma channel and return a handle to the dma channel of type dma_chan. From the examples I have seen, the mask and filter_fn are constant for a given DMA controller and therefore, we can specify these as controller specific data when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. The filter_param variable is of an unknown type and is typically specific to the DMA engine implementation for a given DMA controller. To allow some flexibility in the type and formating of this filter_param we employ an xlate to translate the device-tree binding information into the appropriate format. The xlate function used for a DMA controller can also be specified when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. Based upon the above, a function for registering the DMA controller with the DMA helpers now looks like the below. The data variable is used to pass a pointer to DMA controller specific data used by the xlate function. int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data) For example, in the case where DMA engine is used, we define the following structure (that stores the DMA engine capability mask and filter function) and pass this to the data variable in the above function. struct of_dma_filter_info { dma_cap_mask_t dma_cap; dma_filter_fn filter_fn; }; 2. Representing and requesting channel information Please see the dma binding documentation included in this patch for a description of how DMA controllers and client information should be represented with device-tree. For more information on how this binding came about please see [3]. In addition to this, feedback received from the Linux kernel summit showed a consensus (among those who attended) to use a name to identify DMA client information [4]. A DMA channel can be requested by calling the following function, where name is a required parameter used for identifying a DMA channel. This function has been designed to return a structure of type dma_chan to work with the DMA engine driver. Note that if DMA engine is used then drivers should be using the DMA engine API dma_request_slave_channel() (implemented in part 2 of this series, "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel") which will in turn call the below function if device-tree is present. The aim being to have a common DMA engine interface regardless of whether device tree is being used. struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np, char *name) 3.

dmaengine: of_dma: Support for DMA routers DMA routers are transparent devices used to mux DMA requests from peripherals to DMA controllers. They are used when the SoC integrates more devices with DMA requests then their controller can handle. DRA7x is one example of such SoC, where the sDMA can hanlde 128 DMA request lines, but in SoC level it has 205 DMA requests. The of_dma_router will be registered as of_dma_controller with special xlate function and additional parameters. The driver for the router is responsible to craft the dma_spec (in the of_dma_route_allocate callback) which can be used to requests a DMA channel from the real DMA controller. This way the router can be transparent for the system while remaining generic enough to be used in different environments.

/**
of: dma: fix potential deadlock when requesting a slave channel In the latest version of the OF dma handlers I added support (rather hastily) to exhaustively search for an available dma slave channel, for the use-case where we have alternative slave channels that can be used. In the current implementation a deadlock scenario can occur causing the CPU to loop forever. The scenario is as follows ... 1. There are alternative channels avaialble 2. The first channel that is found by calling of_dma_find_channel() is not available and so the call to the xlate function returns NULL. In this case we will call of_dma_find_channel() again but we will return the same channel that we found the first time and hence, again the xlate will return NULL and we will loop here forever. Fix this potential deadlock by just using a single for-loop and not a for-loop nested in a do-while loop. This change also replaces the function of_dma_find_channel() with of_dma_match_channel() which performs a simple check to see if a DMA channel matches the name specified. I have tested this implementation on an OMAP4 panda board by adding a dummy DMA specifier, that will cause the xlate function to return NULL, to the beginning of a list of DMA specifiers for a DMA client.

Design of DMA helpers 1. Registering DMA controllers In the case of DMA controllers that are using DMA Engine, requesting a channel is performed by calling the following function. struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask, dma_filter_fn filter_fn, void *filter_param); The mask variable is used to match a type of the device controller in a list of controllers. The filter_fn and filter_param are used to identify the required dma channel and return a handle to the dma channel of type dma_chan. From the examples I have seen, the mask and filter_fn are constant for a given DMA controller and therefore, we can specify these as controller specific data when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. The filter_param variable is of an unknown type and is typically specific to the DMA engine implementation for a given DMA controller. To allow some flexibility in the type and formating of this filter_param we employ an xlate to translate the device-tree binding information into the appropriate format. The xlate function used for a DMA controller can also be specified when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. Based upon the above, a function for registering the DMA controller with the DMA helpers now looks like the below. The data variable is used to pass a pointer to DMA controller specific data used by the xlate function. int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data) For example, in the case where DMA engine is used, we define the following structure (that stores the DMA engine capability mask and filter function) and pass this to the data variable in the above function. struct of_dma_filter_info { dma_cap_mask_t dma_cap; dma_filter_fn filter_fn; }; 2. Representing and requesting channel information Please see the dma binding documentation included in this patch for a description of how DMA controllers and client information should be represented with device-tree. For more information on how this binding came about please see [3]. In addition to this, feedback received from the Linux kernel summit showed a consensus (among those who attended) to use a name to identify DMA client information [4]. A DMA channel can be requested by calling the following function, where name is a required parameter used for identifying a DMA channel. This function has been designed to return a structure of type dma_chan to work with the DMA engine driver. Note that if DMA engine is used then drivers should be using the DMA engine API dma_request_slave_channel() (implemented in part 2 of this series, "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel") which will in turn call the below function if device-tree is present. The aim being to have a common DMA engine interface regardless of whether device tree is being used. struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np, char *name) 3. Supporting legacy devices not using DMA Engine These devices present a problem, as there may not be a uniform way to easily support them with regard to device tree. Ideally, these should be migrated to DMA engine. However, if this is not possible, then they should still be able to use this binding, the only constaint imposed by this implementation is that when requesting a DMA channel via of_dma_request_slave_channel(), it will return a type of dma_chan. This implementation has been tested on OMAP4430 using the kernel v3.6-rc5. I have validated that MMC is working on the PANDA board with this implementation. My development branch for testing on OMAP can be found here [5]. v6: - minor corrections in DMA binding documentation v5: - minor update to binding documentation - added loop to exhaustively search for a slave channel in the case where there could be alternative channels available v4: - revert the removal of xlate function from v3 - update the proposed binding format and APIs based upon discussions [3] v3: - avoid passing an xlate function and instead pass DMA engine parameters - define number of dma channels and requests in dma-controller node v2: - remove of_dma_to_resource API - make property #dma-cells required (no fallback anymore) - another check in of_dma_xlate_onenumbercell() function [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.devicetree/12022 [2] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.omap/73622 [3] http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=133582085008539&w=2 [4] http://pad.linaro.org/arm-mini-summit-2012 [5] https://github.com/jonhunter/linux/tree/dev-dt-dma Cc: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Cc: Benoit Cousson <b-cousson@ti.com> Cc: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Cc: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@intel.com> Cc: Dan Williams <djbw@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Hunter <jon-hunter@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@wwwdotorg.org> Acked-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@linux.intel.com>

of: dma: fix potential deadlock when requesting a slave channel In the latest version of the OF dma handlers I added support (rather hastily) to exhaustively search for an available dma slave channel, for the use-case where we have alternative slave channels that can be used. In the current implementation a deadlock scenario can occur causing the CPU to loop forever. The scenario is as follows ... 1. There are alternative channels avaialble 2. The first channel that is found by calling of_dma_find_channel() is not available and so the call to the xlate function returns NULL. In this case we will call of_dma_find_channel() again but we will return the same channel that we found the first time and hence, again the xlate will return NULL and we will loop here forever. Fix this potential deadlock by just using a single for-loop and not a for-loop nested in a do-while loop. This change also replaces the function of_dma_find_channel() with of_dma_match_channel() which performs a simple check to see if a DMA channel matches the name specified. I have tested this implementation on an OMAP4 panda board by adding a dummy DMA specifier, that will cause the xlate function to return NULL, to the beginning of a list of DMA specifiers for a DMA client.

of: Add generic device tree DMA helpers This is based upon the work by Benoit Cousson [1] and Nicolas Ferre [2] to add some basic helpers to retrieve a DMA controller device_node and the DMA request/channel information. Aim of DMA helpers - The purpose of device-tree is to describe the capabilites of the hardware. Thinking about DMA controllers purely from the context of the hardware to begin with, we can describe a device in terms of a DMA controller as follows ... 1. Number of DMA controllers 2. Number of channels (maybe physical or logical) 3. Mapping of DMA requests signals to DMA controller 4. Number of DMA interrupts 5. Mapping of DMA interrupts to channels - With the above in mind the aim of the DT DMA helper functions is to extract the above information from the DT and provide to the appropriate driver. However, due to the vast number of DMA controllers and not all are using a common driver (such as DMA Engine) it has been seen that this is not a trivial task. In previous discussions on this topic the following concerns have been raised ... 1. How does the binding support devices with multiple DMA controllers? 2. How to support both legacy DMA controllers not using DMA Engine as well as those that support DMA Engine. 3. When using with DMA Engine how do we support the various implementations where the opaque filter function parameter differs between implementations? 4.

This change also replaces the function of_dma_find_channel() with of_dma_match_channel() which performs a simple check to see if a DMA channel matches the name specified. I have tested this implementation on an OMAP4 panda board by adding a dummy DMA specifier, that will cause the xlate function to return NULL, to the beginning of a list of DMA specifiers for a DMA client.

of: Add generic device tree DMA helpers This is based upon the work by Benoit Cousson [1] and Nicolas Ferre [2] to add some basic helpers to retrieve a DMA controller device_node and the DMA request/channel information. Aim of DMA helpers - The purpose of device-tree is to describe the capabilites of the hardware. Thinking about DMA controllers purely from the context of the hardware to begin with, we can describe a device in terms of a DMA controller as follows ... 1. Number of DMA controllers 2. Number of channels (maybe physical or logical) 3. Mapping of DMA requests signals to DMA controller 4. Number of DMA interrupts 5. Mapping of DMA interrupts to channels - With the above in mind the aim of the DT DMA helper functions is to extract the above information from the DT and provide to the appropriate driver. However, due to the vast number of DMA controllers and not all are using a common driver (such as DMA Engine) it has been seen that this is not a trivial task. In previous discussions on this topic the following concerns have been raised ... 1. How does the binding support devices with multiple DMA controllers? 2. How to support both legacy DMA controllers not using DMA Engine as well as those that support DMA Engine. 3. When using with DMA Engine how do we support the various implementations where the opaque filter function parameter differs between implementations? 4. How do we handle DMA channels that are identified with a string versus a integer? - Hence the design of the DMA helpers has to accomodate the above or align on an agreement what can be or should be supported. Design of DMA helpers 1. Registering DMA controllers In the case of DMA controllers that are using DMA Engine, requesting a channel is performed by calling the following function. struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask, dma_filter_fn filter_fn, void *filter_param); The mask variable is used to match a type of the device controller in a list of controllers. The filter_fn and filter_param are used to identify the required dma channel and return a handle to the dma channel of type dma_chan. From the examples I have seen, the mask and filter_fn are constant for a given DMA controller and therefore, we can specify these as controller specific data when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. The filter_param variable is of an unknown type and is typically specific to the DMA engine implementation for a given DMA controller. To allow some flexibility in the type and formating of this filter_param we employ an xlate to translate the device-tree binding information into the appropriate format. The xlate function used for a DMA controller can also be specified when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. Based upon the above, a function for registering the DMA controller with the DMA helpers now looks like the below. The data variable is used to pass a pointer to DMA controller specific data used by the xlate function. int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data) For example, in the case where DMA engine is used, we define the following structure (that stores the DMA engine capability mask and filter function) and pass this to the data variable in the above function. struct of_dma_filter_info { dma_cap_mask_t dma_cap; dma_filter_fn filter_fn; }; 2. Representing and requesting channel information Please see the dma binding documentation included in this patch for a description of how DMA controllers and client information should be represented with device-tree. For more information on how this binding came about please see [3]. In addition to this, feedback received from the Linux kernel summit showed a consensus (among those who attended) to use a name to identify DMA client information [4]. A DMA channel can be requested by calling the following function, where name is a required parameter used for identifying a DMA channel. This function has been designed to return a structure of type dma_chan to work with the DMA engine driver. Note that if DMA engine is used then drivers should be using the DMA engine API dma_request_slave_channel() (implemented in part 2 of this series, "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel") which will in turn call the below function if device-tree is present. The aim being to have a common DMA engine interface regardless of whether device tree is being used. struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np, char *name) 3. Supporting legacy devices not using DMA Engine These devices present a problem, as there may not be a uniform way to easily support them with regard to device tree. Ideally, these should be migrated to DMA engine. However, if this is not possible, then they should still be able to use this binding, the only constaint imposed by this implementation is that when requesting a DMA channel via of_dma_request_slave_channel(), it will return a type of dma_chan. This implementation has been tested on OMAP4430 using the kernel v3.6-rc5. I have validated that MMC is working on the PANDA board with this implementation. My development branch for testing on OMAP can be found here [5]. v6: - minor corrections in DMA binding documentation v5: - minor update to binding documentation - added loop to exhaustively search for a slave channel in the case where there could be alternative channels available v4: - revert the removal of xlate function from v3 - update the proposed binding format and APIs based upon discussions [3] v3: - avoid passing an xlate function and instead pass DMA engine parameters - define number of dma channels and requests in dma-controller node v2: - remove of_dma_to_resource API - make property #dma-cells required (no fallback anymore) - another check in of_dma_xlate_onenumbercell() function [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.devicetree/12022 [2] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.omap/73622 [3] http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=133582085008539&w=2 [4] http://pad.linaro.org/arm-mini-summit-2012 [5] https://github.com/jonhunter/linux/tree/dev-dt-dma Cc: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Cc: Benoit Cousson <b-cousson@ti.com> Cc: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Cc: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@intel.com> Cc: Dan Williams <djbw@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Hunter <jon-hunter@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@wwwdotorg.org> Acked-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@linux.intel.com>

of: dma: fix potential deadlock when requesting a slave channel In the latest version of the OF dma handlers I added support (rather hastily) to exhaustively search for an available dma slave channel, for the use-case where we have alternative slave channels that can be used. In the current implementation a deadlock scenario can occur causing the CPU to loop forever. The scenario is as follows ... 1. There are alternative channels avaialble 2. The first channel that is found by calling of_dma_find_channel() is not available and so the call to the xlate function returns NULL. In this case we will call of_dma_find_channel() again but we will return the same channel that we found the first time and hence, again the xlate will return NULL and we will loop here forever. Fix this potential deadlock by just using a single for-loop and not a for-loop nested in a do-while loop.

dma: add channel request API that supports deferred probe dma_request_slave_channel() simply returns NULL whenever DMA channel lookup fails. Lookup could fail for two distinct reasons: a) No DMA specification exists for the channel name. This includes situations where no DMA specifications exist at all, or other general lookup problems. b) A DMA specification does exist, yet the driver for that channel is not yet registered. Case (b) should trigger deferred probe in client drivers. However, since they have no way to differentiate the two situations, it cannot. Implement new function dma_request_slave_channel_reason(), which performs identically to dma_request_slave_channel(), except that it returns an error-pointer rather than NULL, which allows callers to detect when deferred probe should occur. Eventually, all drivers should be converted to this new API, the old API removed, and the new API renamed to the more desirable name. This patch doesn't convert the existing API and all drivers in one go, since some drivers call dma_request_slave_channel() then dma_request_channel() if that fails. That would require either modifying dma_request_channel() in the same way, or adding extra error-handling code to all affected drivers, and there are close to 100 drivers using the other API, rather than just the 15-20 or so that use dma_request_slave_channel(), which might be tenable in a single patch. acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_name() doesn't currently implement deferred probe. It should, but this will be addressed later. Acked-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@intel.com>

of: Add generic device tree DMA helpers This is based upon the work by Benoit Cousson [1] and Nicolas Ferre [2] to add some basic helpers to retrieve a DMA controller device_node and the DMA request/channel information. Aim of DMA helpers - The purpose of device-tree is to describe the capabilites of the hardware. Thinking about DMA controllers purely from the context of the hardware to begin with, we can describe a device in terms of a DMA controller as follows ... 1. Number of DMA controllers 2. Number of channels (maybe physical or logical) 3. Mapping of DMA requests signals to DMA controller 4. Number of DMA interrupts 5. Mapping of DMA interrupts to channels - With the above in mind the aim of the DT DMA helper functions is to extract the above information from the DT and provide to the appropriate driver. However, due to the vast number of DMA controllers and not all are using a common driver (such as DMA Engine) it has been seen that this is not a trivial task. In previous discussions on this topic the following concerns have been raised ... 1. How does the binding support devices with multiple DMA controllers? 2. How to support both legacy DMA controllers not using DMA Engine as well as those that support DMA Engine. 3. When using with DMA Engine how do we support the various implementations where the opaque filter function parameter differs between implementations? 4. How do we handle DMA channels that are identified with a string versus a integer? - Hence the design of the DMA helpers has to accomodate the above or align on an agreement what can be or should be supported. Design of DMA helpers 1. Registering DMA controllers In the case of DMA controllers that are using DMA Engine, requesting a channel is performed by calling the following function. struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask, dma_filter_fn filter_fn, void *filter_param); The mask variable is used to match a type of the device controller in a list of controllers. The filter_fn and filter_param are used to identify the required dma channel and return a handle to the dma channel of type dma_chan. From the examples I have seen, the mask and filter_fn are constant for a given DMA controller and therefore, we can specify these as controller specific data when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. The filter_param variable is of an unknown type and is typically specific to the DMA engine implementation for a given DMA controller. To allow some flexibility in the type and formating of this filter_param we employ an xlate to translate the device-tree binding information into the appropriate format. The xlate function used for a DMA controller can also be specified when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. Based upon the above, a function for registering the DMA controller with the DMA helpers now looks like the below. The data variable is used to pass a pointer to DMA controller specific data used by the xlate function. int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data) For example, in the case where DMA engine is used, we define the following structure (that stores the DMA engine capability mask and filter function) and pass this to the data variable in the above function. struct of_dma_filter_info { dma_cap_mask_t dma_cap; dma_filter_fn filter_fn; }; 2. Representing and requesting channel information Please see the dma binding documentation included in this patch for a description of how DMA controllers and client information should be represented with device-tree. For more information on how this binding came about please see [3]. In addition to this, feedback received from the Linux kernel summit showed a consensus (among those who attended) to use a name to identify DMA client information [4]. A DMA channel can be requested by calling the following function, where name is a required parameter used for identifying a DMA channel. This function has been designed to return a structure of type dma_chan to work with the DMA engine driver. Note that if DMA engine is used then drivers should be using the DMA engine API dma_request_slave_channel() (implemented in part 2 of this series, "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel") which will in turn call the below function if device-tree is present. The aim being to have a common DMA engine interface regardless of whether device tree is being used. struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np, char *name) 3.

of: Add generic device tree DMA helpers This is based upon the work by Benoit Cousson [1] and Nicolas Ferre [2] to add some basic helpers to retrieve a DMA controller device_node and the DMA request/channel information. Aim of DMA helpers - The purpose of device-tree is to describe the capabilites of the hardware. Thinking about DMA controllers purely from the context of the hardware to begin with, we can describe a device in terms of a DMA controller as follows ... 1. Number of DMA controllers 2. Number of channels (maybe physical or logical) 3. Mapping of DMA requests signals to DMA controller 4. Number of DMA interrupts 5. Mapping of DMA interrupts to channels - With the above in mind the aim of the DT DMA helper functions is to extract the above information from the DT and provide to the appropriate driver. However, due to the vast number of DMA controllers and not all are using a common driver (such as DMA Engine) it has been seen that this is not a trivial task. In previous discussions on this topic the following concerns have been raised ... 1. How does the binding support devices with multiple DMA controllers? 2. How to support both legacy DMA controllers not using DMA Engine as well as those that support DMA Engine. 3. When using with DMA Engine how do we support the various implementations where the opaque filter function parameter differs between implementations? 4. How do we handle DMA channels that are identified with a string versus a integer? - Hence the design of the DMA helpers has to accomodate the above or align on an agreement what can be or should be supported. Design of DMA helpers 1. Registering DMA controllers In the case of DMA controllers that are using DMA Engine, requesting a channel is performed by calling the following function. struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask, dma_filter_fn filter_fn, void *filter_param); The mask variable is used to match a type of the device controller in a list of controllers. The filter_fn and filter_param are used to identify the required dma channel and return a handle to the dma channel of type dma_chan. From the examples I have seen, the mask and filter_fn are constant for a given DMA controller and therefore, we can specify these as controller specific data when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. The filter_param variable is of an unknown type and is typically specific to the DMA engine implementation for a given DMA controller. To allow some flexibility in the type and formating of this filter_param we employ an xlate to translate the device-tree binding information into the appropriate format. The xlate function used for a DMA controller can also be specified when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. Based upon the above, a function for registering the DMA controller with the DMA helpers now looks like the below. The data variable is used to pass a pointer to DMA controller specific data used by the xlate function. int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data) For example, in the case where DMA engine is used, we define the following structure (that stores the DMA engine capability mask and filter function) and pass this to the data variable in the above function. struct of_dma_filter_info { dma_cap_mask_t dma_cap; dma_filter_fn filter_fn; }; 2. Representing and requesting channel information Please see the dma binding documentation included in this patch for a description of how DMA controllers and client information should be represented with device-tree. For more information on how this binding came about please see [3]. In addition to this, feedback received from the Linux kernel summit showed a consensus (among those who attended) to use a name to identify DMA client information [4]. A DMA channel can be requested by calling the following function, where name is a required parameter used for identifying a DMA channel. This function has been designed to return a structure of type dma_chan to work with the DMA engine driver. Note that if DMA engine is used then drivers should be using the DMA engine API dma_request_slave_channel() (implemented in part 2 of this series, "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel") which will in turn call the below function if device-tree is present. The aim being to have a common DMA engine interface regardless of whether device tree is being used. struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np, char *name) 3. Supporting legacy devices not using DMA Engine These devices present a problem, as there may not be a uniform way to easily support them with regard to device tree. Ideally, these should be migrated to DMA engine. However, if this is not possible, then they should still be able to use this binding, the only constaint imposed by this implementation is that when requesting a DMA channel via of_dma_request_slave_channel(), it will return a type of dma_chan. This implementation has been tested on OMAP4430 using the kernel v3.6-rc5. I have validated that MMC is working on the PANDA board with this implementation. My development branch for testing on OMAP can be found here [5]. v6: - minor corrections in DMA binding documentation v5: - minor update to binding documentation - added loop to exhaustively search for a slave channel in the case where there could be alternative channels available v4: - revert the removal of xlate function from v3 - update the proposed binding format and APIs based upon discussions [3] v3: - avoid passing an xlate function and instead pass DMA engine parameters - define number of dma channels and requests in dma-controller node v2: - remove of_dma_to_resource API - make property #dma-cells required (no fallback anymore) - another check in of_dma_xlate_onenumbercell() function [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.devicetree/12022 [2] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.omap/73622 [3] http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=133582085008539&w=2 [4] http://pad.linaro.org/arm-mini-summit-2012 [5] https://github.com/jonhunter/linux/tree/dev-dt-dma Cc: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Cc: Benoit Cousson <b-cousson@ti.com> Cc: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Cc: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@intel.com> Cc: Dan Williams <djbw@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Hunter <jon-hunter@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@wwwdotorg.org> Acked-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@linux.intel.com>

of: dma: fix potential deadlock when requesting a slave channel In the latest version of the OF dma handlers I added support (rather hastily) to exhaustively search for an available dma slave channel, for the use-case where we have alternative slave channels that can be used. In the current implementation a deadlock scenario can occur causing the CPU to loop forever. The scenario is as follows ... 1. There are alternative channels avaialble 2. The first channel that is found by calling of_dma_find_channel() is not available and so the call to the xlate function returns NULL. In this case we will call of_dma_find_channel() again but we will return the same channel that we found the first time and hence, again the xlate will return NULL and we will loop here forever. Fix this potential deadlock by just using a single for-loop and not a for-loop nested in a do-while loop. This change also replaces the function of_dma_find_channel() with of_dma_match_channel() which performs a simple check to see if a DMA channel matches the name specified. I have tested this implementation on an OMAP4 panda board by adding a dummy DMA specifier, that will cause the xlate function to return NULL, to the beginning of a list of DMA specifiers for a DMA client.

dma: add channel request API that supports deferred probe dma_request_slave_channel() simply returns NULL whenever DMA channel lookup fails. Lookup could fail for two distinct reasons: a) No DMA specification exists for the channel name. This includes situations where no DMA specifications exist at all, or other general lookup problems. b) A DMA specification does exist, yet the driver for that channel is not yet registered. Case (b) should trigger deferred probe in client drivers. However, since they have no way to differentiate the two situations, it cannot. Implement new function dma_request_slave_channel_reason(), which performs identically to dma_request_slave_channel(), except that it returns an error-pointer rather than NULL, which allows callers to detect when deferred probe should occur. Eventually, all drivers should be converted to this new API, the old API removed, and the new API renamed to the more desirable name. This patch doesn't convert the existing API and all drivers in one go, since some drivers call dma_request_slave_channel() then dma_request_channel() if that fails. That would require either modifying dma_request_channel() in the same way, or adding extra error-handling code to all affected drivers, and there are close to 100 drivers using the other API, rather than just the 15-20 or so that use dma_request_slave_channel(), which might be tenable in a single patch. acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_name() doesn't currently implement deferred probe.

dma:of: Use a mutex to protect the of_dma_list Currently the OF DMA code uses a spin lock to protect the of_dma_list from concurrent access and a per controller reference count to protect the controller from being freed while a request operation is in progress. If of_dma_controller_free() is called for a controller who's reference count is not zero it will return -EBUSY and not remove the controller. This is fine up until here, but leaves the question what the caller of of_dma_controller_free() is supposed to do if the controller couldn't be freed. The only viable solution for the caller is to spin on of_dma_controller_free() until it returns success. E.g. do { ret = of_dma_controller_free(dev->of_node) } while (ret != -EBUSY); This is rather ugly and unnecessary and none of the current users of of_dma_controller_free() check it's return value anyway. Instead protect the list by a mutex. The mutex will be held as long as a request operation is in progress. So if of_dma_controller_free() is called while a request operation is in progress it will be put to sleep and only wake up once the request operation has finished. This means that it is no longer possible to register or unregister OF DMA controllers from a context where it's not possible to sleep. But I doubt that we'll ever need this. Also rename of_dma_get_controller back to of_dma_find_controller.

To allow some flexibility in the type and formating of this filter_param we employ an xlate to translate the device-tree binding information into the appropriate format. The xlate function used for a DMA controller can also be specified when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. Based upon the above, a function for registering the DMA controller with the DMA helpers now looks like the below. The data variable is used to pass a pointer to DMA controller specific data used by the xlate function. int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data) For example, in the case where DMA engine is used, we define the following structure (that stores the DMA engine capability mask and filter function) and pass this to the data variable in the above function. struct of_dma_filter_info { dma_cap_mask_t dma_cap; dma_filter_fn filter_fn; }; 2. Representing and requesting channel information Please see the dma binding documentation included in this patch for a description of how DMA controllers and client information should be represented with device-tree. For more information on how this binding came about please see [3]. In addition to this, feedback received from the Linux kernel summit showed a consensus (among those who attended) to use a name to identify DMA client information [4]. A DMA channel can be requested by calling the following function, where name is a required parameter used for identifying a DMA channel. This function has been designed to return a structure of type dma_chan to work with the DMA engine driver. Note that if DMA engine is used then drivers should be using the DMA engine API dma_request_slave_channel() (implemented in part 2 of this series, "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel") which will in turn call the below function if device-tree is present. The aim being to have a common DMA engine interface regardless of whether device tree is being used. struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np, char *name) 3. Supporting legacy devices not using DMA Engine These devices present a problem, as there may not be a uniform way to easily support them with regard to device tree. Ideally, these should be migrated to DMA engine. However, if this is not possible, then they should still be able to use this binding, the only constaint imposed by this implementation is that when requesting a DMA channel via of_dma_request_slave_channel(), it will return a type of dma_chan. This implementation has been tested on OMAP4430 using the kernel v3.6-rc5. I have validated that MMC is working on the PANDA board with this implementation.

dma:of: Use a mutex to protect the of_dma_list Currently the OF DMA code uses a spin lock to protect the of_dma_list from concurrent access and a per controller reference count to protect the controller from being freed while a request operation is in progress. If of_dma_controller_free() is called for a controller who's reference count is not zero it will return -EBUSY and not remove the controller. This is fine up until here, but leaves the question what the caller of of_dma_controller_free() is supposed to do if the controller couldn't be freed. The only viable solution for the caller is to spin on of_dma_controller_free() until it returns success. E.g. do { ret = of_dma_controller_free(dev->of_node) } while (ret != -EBUSY); This is rather ugly and unnecessary and none of the current users of of_dma_controller_free() check it's return value anyway. Instead protect the list by a mutex. The mutex will be held as long as a request operation is in progress. So if of_dma_controller_free() is called while a request operation is in progress it will be put to sleep and only wake up once the request operation has finished. This means that it is no longer possible to register or unregister OF DMA controllers from a context where it's not possible to sleep. But I doubt that we'll ever need this. Also rename of_dma_get_controller back to of_dma_find_controller.

mutex_unlock(&of_dma_lock);
of: dma: fix protection of DMA controller data stored by DMA helpers In the current implementation of the OF DMA helpers, read-copy-update (RCU) linked lists are being used for storing and accessing the DMA controller data. This part of implementation is based upon V2 of the DMA helpers by Nicolas [1]. During a recent review of RCU, it became apparent that the code is missing the required rcu_read_lock()/unlock() calls as well as synchronisation calls before freeing any memory protected by RCU. Having looked into adding the appropriate RCU calls to protect the DMA data it became apparent that with the current DMA helper implementation, using RCU is not as attractive as it may have been before. The main reasons being that ... 1. We need to protect the DMA data around calls to the xlate function. 2. The of_dma_simple_xlate() function calls the DMA engine function dma_request_channel() which employs a mutex and so could sleep. 3. The RCU read-side critical sections must not sleep and so we cannot hold an RCU read lock around the xlate function. Therefore, instead of using RCU, an alternative for this use-case is to employ a simple spinlock inconjunction with a usage count variable to keep track of how many current users of the DMA data structure there are. With this implementation, the DMA data cannot be freed until all current users of the DMA data are finished. This patch is based upon the DMA helpers fix for potential deadlock [2].

of: Add generic device tree DMA helpers This is based upon the work by Benoit Cousson [1] and Nicolas Ferre [2] to add some basic helpers to retrieve a DMA controller device_node and the DMA request/channel information. Aim of DMA helpers - The purpose of device-tree is to describe the capabilites of the hardware. Thinking about DMA controllers purely from the context of the hardware to begin with, we can describe a device in terms of a DMA controller as follows ... 1. Number of DMA controllers 2. Number of channels (maybe physical or logical) 3. Mapping of DMA requests signals to DMA controller 4. Number of DMA interrupts 5. Mapping of DMA interrupts to channels - With the above in mind the aim of the DT DMA helper functions is to extract the above information from the DT and provide to the appropriate driver. However, due to the vast number of DMA controllers and not all are using a common driver (such as DMA Engine) it has been seen that this is not a trivial task. In previous discussions on this topic the following concerns have been raised ... 1. How does the binding support devices with multiple DMA controllers? 2. How to support both legacy DMA controllers not using DMA Engine as well as those that support DMA Engine. 3. When using with DMA Engine how do we support the various implementations where the opaque filter function parameter differs between implementations? 4. How do we handle DMA channels that are identified with a string versus a integer? - Hence the design of the DMA helpers has to accomodate the above or align on an agreement what can be or should be supported. Design of DMA helpers 1. Registering DMA controllers In the case of DMA controllers that are using DMA Engine, requesting a channel is performed by calling the following function. struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask, dma_filter_fn filter_fn, void *filter_param); The mask variable is used to match a type of the device controller in a list of controllers. The filter_fn and filter_param are used to identify the required dma channel and return a handle to the dma channel of type dma_chan. From the examples I have seen, the mask and filter_fn are constant for a given DMA controller and therefore, we can specify these as controller specific data when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. The filter_param variable is of an unknown type and is typically specific to the DMA engine implementation for a given DMA controller. To allow some flexibility in the type and formating of this filter_param we employ an xlate to translate the device-tree binding information into the appropriate format. The xlate function used for a DMA controller can also be specified when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. Based upon the above, a function for registering the DMA controller with the DMA helpers now looks like the below. The data variable is used to pass a pointer to DMA controller specific data used by the xlate function. int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data) For example, in the case where DMA engine is used, we define the following structure (that stores the DMA engine capability mask and filter function) and pass this to the data variable in the above function. struct of_dma_filter_info { dma_cap_mask_t dma_cap; dma_filter_fn filter_fn; }; 2.

of_node_put(dma_spec.np);
of: dma: fix potential deadlock when requesting a slave channel In the latest version of the OF dma handlers I added support (rather hastily) to exhaustively search for an available dma slave channel, for the use-case where we have alternative slave channels that can be used. In the current implementation a deadlock scenario can occur causing the CPU to loop forever. The scenario is as follows ... 1. There are alternative channels avaialble 2. The first channel that is found by calling of_dma_find_channel() is not available and so the call to the xlate function returns NULL. In this case we will call of_dma_find_channel() again but we will return the same channel that we found the first time and hence, again the xlate will return NULL and we will loop here forever. Fix this potential deadlock by just using a single for-loop and not a for-loop nested in a do-while loop. This change also replaces the function of_dma_find_channel() with of_dma_match_channel() which performs a simple check to see if a DMA channel matches the name specified. I have tested this implementation on an OMAP4 panda board by adding a dummy DMA specifier, that will cause the xlate function to return NULL, to the beginning of a list of DMA specifiers for a DMA client.

That would require either modifying dma_request_channel() in the same way, or adding extra error-handling code to all affected drivers, and there are close to 100 drivers using the other API, rather than just the 15-20 or so that use dma_request_slave_channel(), which might be tenable in a single patch. acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_name() doesn't currently implement deferred probe. It should, but this will be addressed later. Acked-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@intel.com>

of: Add generic device tree DMA helpers This is based upon the work by Benoit Cousson [1] and Nicolas Ferre [2] to add some basic helpers to retrieve a DMA controller device_node and the DMA request/channel information. Aim of DMA helpers - The purpose of device-tree is to describe the capabilites of the hardware. Thinking about DMA controllers purely from the context of the hardware to begin with, we can describe a device in terms of a DMA controller as follows ... 1. Number of DMA controllers 2. Number of channels (maybe physical or logical) 3. Mapping of DMA requests signals to DMA controller 4. Number of DMA interrupts 5. Mapping of DMA interrupts to channels - With the above in mind the aim of the DT DMA helper functions is to extract the above information from the DT and provide to the appropriate driver. However, due to the vast number of DMA controllers and not all are using a common driver (such as DMA Engine) it has been seen that this is not a trivial task. In previous discussions on this topic the following concerns have been raised ... 1. How does the binding support devices with multiple DMA controllers? 2. How to support both legacy DMA controllers not using DMA Engine as well as those that support DMA Engine. 3. When using with DMA Engine how do we support the various implementations where the opaque filter function parameter differs between implementations? 4. How do we handle DMA channels that are identified with a string versus a integer? - Hence the design of the DMA helpers has to accomodate the above or align on an agreement what can be or should be supported. Design of DMA helpers 1. Registering DMA controllers In the case of DMA controllers that are using DMA Engine, requesting a channel is performed by calling the following function. struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask, dma_filter_fn filter_fn, void *filter_param); The mask variable is used to match a type of the device controller in a list of controllers. The filter_fn and filter_param are used to identify the required dma channel and return a handle to the dma channel of type dma_chan. From the examples I have seen, the mask and filter_fn are constant for a given DMA controller and therefore, we can specify these as controller specific data when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. The filter_param variable is of an unknown type and is typically specific to the DMA engine implementation for a given DMA controller. To allow some flexibility in the type and formating of this filter_param we employ an xlate to translate the device-tree binding information into the appropriate format. The xlate function used for a DMA controller can also be specified when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. Based upon the above, a function for registering the DMA controller with the DMA helpers now looks like the below. The data variable is used to pass a pointer to DMA controller specific data used by the xlate function. int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data) For example, in the case where DMA engine is used, we define the following structure (that stores the DMA engine capability mask and filter function) and pass this to the data variable in the above function. struct of_dma_filter_info { dma_cap_mask_t dma_cap; dma_filter_fn filter_fn; }; 2. Representing and requesting channel information Please see the dma binding documentation included in this patch for a description of how DMA controllers and client information should be represented with device-tree. For more information on how this binding came about please see [3]. In addition to this, feedback received from the Linux kernel summit showed a consensus (among those who attended) to use a name to identify DMA client information [4]. A DMA channel can be requested by calling the following function, where name is a required parameter used for identifying a DMA channel. This function has been designed to return a structure of type dma_chan to work with the DMA engine driver. Note that if DMA engine is used then drivers should be using the DMA engine API dma_request_slave_channel() (implemented in part 2 of this series, "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel") which will in turn call the below function if device-tree is present. The aim being to have a common DMA engine interface regardless of whether device tree is being used. struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np, char *name) 3. Supporting legacy devices not using DMA Engine These devices present a problem, as there may not be a uniform way to easily support them with regard to device tree. Ideally, these should be migrated to DMA engine. However, if this is not possible, then they should still be able to use this binding, the only constaint imposed by this implementation is that when requesting a DMA channel via of_dma_request_slave_channel(), it will return a type of dma_chan. This implementation has been tested on OMAP4430 using the kernel v3.6-rc5. I have validated that MMC is working on the PANDA board with this implementation. My development branch for testing on OMAP can be found here [5]. v6: - minor corrections in DMA binding documentation v5: - minor update to binding documentation - added loop to exhaustively search for a slave channel in the case where there could be alternative channels available v4: - revert the removal of xlate function from v3 - update the proposed binding format and APIs based upon discussions [3] v3: - avoid passing an xlate function and instead pass DMA engine parameters - define number of dma channels and requests in dma-controller node v2: - remove of_dma_to_resource API - make property #dma-cells required (no fallback anymore) - another check in of_dma_xlate_onenumbercell() function [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.devicetree/12022 [2] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.omap/73622 [3] http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=133582085008539&w=2 [4] http://pad.linaro.org/arm-mini-summit-2012 [5] https://github.com/jonhunter/linux/tree/dev-dt-dma Cc: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Cc: Benoit Cousson <b-cousson@ti.com> Cc: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Cc: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@intel.com> Cc: Dan Williams <djbw@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Hunter <jon-hunter@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@wwwdotorg.org> Acked-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@linux.intel.com>

dmaengine: of: add common xlate function for matching by channel id This patch adds a new common OF dma xlate callback function which will match a channel by it's id. The binding expects one integer argument which it will use to lookup the channel by the id. Unlike of_dma_simple_xlate this function is able to handle a system with multiple DMA controllers. When registering the of dma provider with of_dma_controller_register a pointer to the dma_device struct which is associated with the dt node needs to passed as the data parameter. New function will use this pointer to match only channels which belong to the specified DMA controller.
