Subject: [PATCH 00/13] dmaengine redux
The dmaengine subsystem collects and advertises dma channels for two classes
of users in the kernel, memory-to-memory offload and traditional
device-to-memory DMA. The original design was driven by the memory-to-memory
case and is starting to show its limitations now that more device-to-memory
DMA users are being planned. The primary difference between the two classes
is that memory-to-memory offload is very amenable to channel sharing and is
tolerant of dynamic channel changes. Compare this to the device-to-memory
case where a channel must be dedicated to a device and may have
platform-specific reasons why it cannot talk to a different device.
This rework allows channels to be targeted to a public (mem-to-mem) pool or be
reserved for an exclusive private (dev-to-mem) allocation. See [PATCH 1/13]
for documentation of the changes. A nice side effect of the rework is:
24 files changed, 679 insertions(+), 1108 deletions(-)
All review welcomed, especially around the dma_slave changes, or performance
impacts of dma_find_channel.
These patches are currently on async_tx.git/upstream, and barring any
brown-paper-bag issues will move to linux-next via async_tx.git/next.
