| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should never do something different based on this. Also, because there is no need to save the file dentry, remove the variable that was saving it as it was never even being used once set.

* dmaengine: pxa_dma: fix hotchain corner caseRobert Jarzmik2016-08-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the case where a descriptor is chained on a running channel, and as explained in the comment in the code 10 lines above, the success of the chaining is ensured either if : - the DMA is still running - or if the chained transfer is completed Unfortunately the transfer completness test was done on the descriptor to which the transfer was chained, and not the transfer being chained at the end, ie. hot-chained. This corner case is extremely hard to trigger, as usually the DMA chain is still running, and the first case takes care of returning success of the hot-chaining. It was seen by hot-chaining several "small transfers" to a running "big transfer", not in a real-life usecase but by testing the robustness of the driver.

This also protects the pxad_remove() from races, such as spurious interrupts while removing the driver, because : - as long as there is one dma channel requested, ie. dma_chan_get() but no dma_chan_put(), the try_module_get() of dma_chan_get() prevents the remove() routine from running - when the last channel is released, ie. the last dma_chan_put() is called, if there is a running DMA, pxad_synchronize() is called - pxad_synchronize() waits for the channel to stop, which in turn ensures on pxa architecture that the interrupt cannot be fired anymore Reported-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarzmik@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@intel.com>

* dmaengine: pxa: handle bus errorsRobert Jarzmik2016-04-261-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the current state, upon bus error the driver will spin endlessly, relaunching the last tx, which will fail again and again : - a bus error happens - pxad_chan_handler() is called - as PXA_DCSR_STOPSTATE is true, the last non-terminated transaction is lauched, which is the one triggering the bus error, as it didn't terminate - moreover, the STOP interrupt fires a new, as the STOPIRQEN is still active Break this logic by stopping the automatic relaunch of a dma channel upon a bus error, even if there are still pending issued requests on it. As dma_cookie_status() seems unable to return DMA_ERROR in its current form, ie. there seems no way to mark a DMA_ERROR on a per-async-tx basis, it is chosen in this patch to remember on the channel which transaction failed, and report it in pxad_tx_status(). It's a bit misleading because if T1, T2, T3 and T4 were queued, and T1 was completed while T2 causes a bus error, the status of T3 and T4 will be reported as DMA_IN_PROGRESS, while the channel is actually stopped.

* dmaengine: pxa: add pxa dmaengine driverRobert Jarzmik2015-05-261-0/+1195
This is a new driver for pxa SoCs, which is also compatible with the former mmp_pdma. The rationale behind a new driver (as opposed to incremental patching) was : - the new driver relies on virt-dma, which obsoletes all the internal structures of mmp_pdma (sw_desc, hw_desc, ...), and by consequence all the functions - mmp_pdma allocates dma coherent descriptors containing not only hardware descriptors but linked list information The new driver only puts the dma hardware descriptors (ie. 4 u32) into the dma pool allocated memory. This changes completely the way descriptors are handled - the architecture behind the interrupt/tasklet management was rewritten to be more conforming to virt-dma - the buffers alignment is handled differently The former driver assumed that the DMA channel stopped between each descriptor. The new one chains descriptors to let the channel running. This is a necessary guarantee for real-time high bandwidth usecases such as video capture on "old" architectures such as pxa. - hot chaining / cold chaining / no chaining Whenever possible, submitting a descriptor "hot chains" it to a running channel. There is still no guarantee that the descriptor will be issued, as the channel might be stopped just before the descriptor is submitted. Yet this allows to submit several video buffers, and resubmit a buffer while another is under handling. As before, dma_async_issue_pending() is the only guarantee to have all the buffers issued. When an alignment issue is detected (ie. one address in a descriptor is not a multiple of 8), if the already running channel is in "aligned mode", the channel will stop, and restarted in "misaligned mode" to finished the issued list. - descriptors reusing A submitted, issued and completed descriptor can be reused, ie resubmitted if it was prepared with the proper flag (DMA_PREP_ACK). Only a channel resources release will in this case release that buffer. This allows a rolling ring of buffers to be reused, where there are several thousands of hardware descriptors used (video buffer for example). Additionally, a set of more casual features is introduced : - debugging traces - lockless way to know if a descriptor is terminated or not The driver was tested on zylonite board (pxa3xx) and mioa701 (pxa27x), with dmatest, pxa_camera and pxamci.
