      dmaengine: centralize channel allocation, introduce dma_find_channel · bec08513
      由 Dan Williams 提交于 
      Allowing multiple clients to each define their own channel allocation
scheme quickly leads to a pathological situation.  For memory-to-memory
offload all clients can share a central allocator.

This simply moves the existing async_tx allocator to dmaengine with
minimal fixups:
* async_tx.c:get_chan_ref_by_cap --> dmaengine.c:nth_chan
* async_tx.c:async_tx_rebalance --> dmaengine.c:dma_channel_rebalance
* split out common code from async_tx.c:__async_tx_find_channel -->
  dma_find_channel

      dmaengine: up-level reference counting to the module level · 6f49a57a
      由 Dan Williams 提交于 
      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.

      dmaengine: remove dependency on async_tx · 07f2211e
      由 Dan Williams 提交于 
      async_tx.ko is a consumer of dma channels.  A circular dependency arises
if modules in drivers/dma rely on common code in async_tx.ko.  It
prevents either module from being unloaded.

Move dma_wait_for_async_tx and async_tx_run_dependencies to dmaeninge.o
where they should have been from the beginning.

      async_tx, dmaengine: document channel allocation and api rework · 28405d8d
      由 Dan Williams 提交于 
      "Wouldn't it be better if the dmaengine layer made sure it didn't pass
the same channel several times to a client?

I mean, you seem concerned that the memcpy() API should be transparent
and easy to use, but the whole registration interface is just
ridiculously complicated..."
	- Haavard

The dmaengine and async_tx registration/allocation interface is indeed
needlessly complicated.  This redesign has the following goals:

1/ Simplify reference counting: dma channels are not something one would
   expect to be hotplugged, it should be an exceptional event handled by
   drivers not something clients should be mandated to handle in a
   callback.  The common case channel removal event is 'rmmod <dma driver>',
   which for simplicity should be disallowed if the channel is in use.
2/ Add an interface for requesting exclusive access to a channel
   suitable to device-to-memory users.
3/ Convert all memory-to-memory users over to a common allocator, the goal
   here is to not have competing channel allocation schemes.  The only
   competition should be between device-to-memory exclusive allocations and
   the memory-to-memory usage case where channels are shared between
   multiple "clients".
