Subject: [PATCH v7 11/11] dmaengine: dw: Initialize max_sg_nents capability
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2020 01:45:50 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200709224550.15539-12-Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200709224550.15539-1-Sergey.Semin@baikalelectronics.ru>
Multi-block support provides a way to map the kernel-specific SG-table so
the DW DMA device would handle it as a whole instead of handling the
SG-list items or so called LLP block items one by one. So if true LLP
list isn't supported by the DW DMA engine, then soft-LLP mode will be
utilized to load and execute each LLP-block one by one. The soft-LLP mode
of the DMA transactions execution might not work well for some DMA
consumers like SPI due to its Tx and Rx buffers inter-dependency. Let's
initialize the max_sg_nents DMA channels capability based on the nollp
flag state. If it's true, no hardware accelerated LLP is available and
max_sg_nents should be set with 1, which means that the DMA engine
can handle only a single SG list entry at a time. If noLLP is set to
false, then hardware accelerated LLP is supported and the DMA engine
can handle infinite number of SG entries in a single DMA transaction.

Changelog v3:
- This is a new patch created as a result of the discussion with Vinud and
Andy in the framework of DW DMA burst and LLP capabilities.
Changelog v4:
- Use explicit if-else statement when assigning the max_sg_nents field.
