Simply, if a client wants any dmaengine channel then prevent all dmaengine modules from being removed. Once the clients are done re-enable module removal. Why?, beyond reducing complication: 1/ Tracking reference counts per-transaction in an efficient manner, as is currently done, requires a complicated scheme to avoid cache-line bouncing effects. 2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a dma-driver can be gracefully removed ahead of its user (net, md, or dma-slave) 3/ None of the in-tree dma-drivers talk to hot pluggable hardware, but if such an engine were built one day we still would not need to notify clients of remove events. The driver can simply return NULL to a ->prep() request, something that is much easier for a client to handle.

The tasklet checks RAW.BLOCK twice, and does not check RAW.XFER. This is obviously wrong, and could theoretically cause the driver to hang.

This adds a driver for the Synopsys DesignWare DMA controller (aka DMACA on AVR32 systems.) This DMA controller can be found integrated on the AT32AP7000 chip and is primarily meant for peripheral DMA transfer, but can also be used for memory-to-memory transfers. This patch is based on a driver from David Brownell which was based on an older version of the DMA Engine framework. It also implements the proposed extensions to the DMA Engine API for slave DMA operations. The dmatest client shows no problems, but there may still be room for improvement performance-wise. DMA slave transfer performance is definitely "good enough"; reading 100 MiB from an SD card running at ~20 MHz yields ~7.2 MiB/s average transfer rate. Full documentation for this controller can be found in the Synopsys DW AHB DMAC Databook: http://www.synopsys.com/designware/docs/iip/DW_ahb_dmac/latest/doc/dw_ahb_dmac_db.pdf The controller has lots of implementation options, so it's usually a good idea to check the data sheet of the chip it's intergrated on as well. The AT32AP7000 data sheet can be found here: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/datasheets.asp?family_id=682 Changes since v4: * Use client_count instead of dma_chan_is_in_use() * Add missing include * Unmap buffers unless client told us not to Changes since v3: * Update to latest DMA engine and DMA slave APIs * Embed the hw descriptor into the sw descriptor * Clean up and update MODULE_DESCRIPTION, copyright date, etc. Changes since v2: * Dequeue all pending transfers in terminate_all() * Rename dw_dmac.h -> dw_dmac_regs.h * Define and use controller-specific dma_slave data * Fix up a few outdated comments * Define hardware registers as structs (doesn't generate better code, unfortunately, but it looks nicer.) * Get number of channels from platform_data instead of hardcoding it based on CONFIG_WHATEVER_CPU. * Give slave clients exclusive access to the channel Acked-by: Maciej Sosnowski <maciej.sosnowski@intel.com>, Signed-off-by: NHaavard Skinnemoen <haavard.skinnemoen@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: NDan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
