Hi All,
This series is the next try to add DMA channels support for DMA controllers
which last version was posted by Álvaro Fernández Rojas [1].
i've kept version numbering.
Comparing to the original post I've added few changes:
- added possibility to pass DMA driver/channel's specific data per each transfer
using additional parameter "metadata" in dma_send/dma_receive() API.
For example, port number for network packets to be directed to the
specific port on multi port ethernet controllers.
- added new dma_prepare_rcv_buf() API which allows to implement zero-copy
DEV_TO_MEM transfer using DMA streaming channels which is usual case
for Networking.
- added dma-uclass test
- removed unused function dma_get_by_index_platdata()
- updated comments
Hence, originally DMA channels support was introduced to add support for
"bmips: add bcm6348-enet support" - that series can be easily updated following
DMA channels API changes (if still actual).
Patches 5-6 - Here I'm providing DMA and networking drivers for the new
TI AM65x SoC [2] as an illustration of DMA channels API usage only. Unfortunately,
those drivers are still under development so NOT-FOR-MERGE (!will not build!)
- we'd like code/bindings to be accepted in LKML first.
Full sources can be found at [3].

===
A DMA is a feature of computer systems that allows certain hardware
subsystems to access main system memory, independent of the CPU.
DMA channels are typically generated externally to the HW module
consuming them, by an entity this API calls a DMA provider. This API
provides a standard means for drivers to enable and disable DMAs, and to
copy, send and receive data using DMA.
DMA channel API:
dma_get_by_index()
dma_get_by_name()
dma_request()
dma_free()
dma_enable()
dma_disable()
dma_prepare_rcv_buf()
dma_receive()
dma_send()
A driver that implements UCLASS_DMA is a DMA provider. A provider will
often implement multiple separate DMAs channels, since the hardware it manages
often has this capability. dma_uclass.h describes the interface which
DMA providers must implement.
DMA consumers/clients are the HW modules driven by the DMA channels.
DMA consumer DMA_MEM_TO_DEV (transmit) usage example (based on networking).
Note. In u-boot dma_send() is sync operation always - it'll start transfer and
will poll for it to complete:
- get/request dma channel
struct dma dma_tx;
ret = dma_get_by_name(common->dev, "tx0", &dma_tx);
if (ret) ...
- enable dma channel
ret = dma_enable(&dma_tx);
if (ret) ...
- dma transmit DMA_MEM_TO_DEV.
struct ti_drv_packet_data packet_data;
packet_data.opt1 = val1;
packet_data.opt2 = val2;
ret = dma_send(&dma_tx, packet, length, &packet_data);
if (ret) ..
DMA consumer DMA_DEV_TO_MEM (receive) usage example (based on networking).
Note. dma_receive() is sync operation always - it'll start transfer
(if required) and will poll for it to complete (or for any previously
configured dev2mem transfer to complete):
- get/request dma channel
struct dma dma_rx;
ret = dma_get_by_name(common->dev, "rx0", &dma_rx);
if (ret) ...
- enable dma channel
ret = dma_enable(&dma_rx);
if (ret) ...
- dma receive DMA_DEV_TO_MEM.
struct ti_drv_packet_data packet_data;
len = dma_receive(&dma_rx, (void **)packet, &packet_data);
if (ret < 0) ...
DMA consumer DMA_DEV_TO_MEM (receive) zero-copy usage example (based on
networking). Networking subsystem allows to configure and use few receive
buffers (dev2mem), as Networking RX DMA channels usually implemented
as streaming interface
- get/request dma channel
struct dma dma_rx;
ret = dma_get_by_name(common->dev, "rx0", &dma_rx);
if (ret) ...
for (i = 0; i < RX_DESC_NUM; i++) {
ret = dma_prepare_rcv_buf(&dma_rx,
net_rx_packets[i],
RX_BUF_SIZE);
if (ret) ...
}
- enable dma channel
ret = dma_enable(&dma_rx);
if (ret) ...
- dma receive DMA_DEV_TO_MEM.
struct ti_drv_packet_data packet_data;
void *packet;
len = dma_receive(&dma_rx, &packet, &packet_data);
if (ret < 0) ..
/* packet - points on buffer prepared by dma_prepare_rcv_buf().
process packet*/
- return buffer back to DAM channel
ret = dma_prepare_rcv_buf(&dma_rx,
net_rx_packets[rx_next],
RX_BUF_SIZE);
changes in v7:
