2008-02-06	async_tx: replace 'int_en' with operation preparation flags	Dan Williams
	Pass a full set of flags to drivers' per-operation 'prep' routines. Currently the only flag passed is DMA_PREP_INTERRUPT. The expectation is that arch-specific async_tx_find_channel() implementations can exploit this capability to find the best channel for an operation.

2008-02-06	async_tx: kill tx_set_src and tx_set_dest methods	Dan Williams
	The tx_set_src and tx_set_dest methods were originally implemented to allow an array of addresses to be passed down from async_xor to the dmaengine driver while minimizing stack overhead. Removing these methods allows drivers to have all transaction parameters available at 'prep' time, saves two function pointers in struct dma_async_tx_descriptor, and reduces the number of indirect branches.. A consequence of moving this data to the 'prep' routine is that multi-source routines like async_xor need temporary storage to convert an array of linear addresses into an array of dma addresses. In order to keep the same stack footprint of the previous implementation the input array is reused as storage for the dma addresses. This requires that sizeof(dma_addr_t) be less than or equal to sizeof(void *). As a consequence CONFIG_DMADEVICES now depends on !CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G. It also requires that drivers be able to make descriptor resources available when the 'prep' routine is polled.

2007-10-17	Remove "unsafe" from module struct	Rusty Russell
	Adrian Bunk points out that "unsafe" was used to mark modules touched by the deprecated MOD_INC_USE_COUNT interface, which has long gone. It's time to remove the member from the module structure, as well. If you want a module which can't unload, don't register an exit function. (Vlad Yasevich says SCTP is now safe to unload, so just remove the __unsafe there).

2007-07-13	dmaengine: driver for the iop32x, iop33x, and iop13xx raid engines	Dan Williams
	The Intel(R) IOP series of i/o processors integrate an Xscale core with raid acceleration engines. The capabilities per platform are: iop219: (2) copy engines iop321: (2) copy engines (1) xor and block fill engine iop33x: (2) copy and crc32c engines (1) xor, xor zero sum, pq, pq zero sum, and block fill engine iop34x (iop13xx): (2) copy, crc32c, xor, xor zero sum, and block fill engines (1) copy, crc32c, xor, xor zero sum, pq, pq zero sum, and block fill engine The driver supports the features of the async_tx api: * asynchronous notification of operation completion * implicit (interupt triggered) handling of inter-channel transaction dependencies The driver adapts to the platform it is running by two methods. 1/ #include <asm/arch/adma.h> which defines the hardware specific iop_chan_* and iop_desc_* routines as a series of static inline functions 2/ The private platform data attached to the platform_device defines the capabilities of the channels 20070626: Callbacks are run in a tasklet. Given the recent discussion on LKML about killing tasklets in favor of workqueues I did a quick conversion of the driver. Raid5 resync performance dropped from 50MB/s to 30MB/s, so the tasklet implementation remains until a generic softirq interface is available. Changelog: * fixed a slot allocation bug in do_iop13xx_adma_xor that caused too few slots to be requested eventually leading to data corruption * enabled the slot allocation routine to attempt to free slots before returning -ENOMEM * switched the cleanup routine to solely use the software chain and the status register to determine if a descriptor is complete. This is necessary to support other IOP engines that do not have status writeback capability * make the driver iop generic * modified the allocation routines to understand allocating a group of slots for a single operation * added a null xor initialization operation for the xor only channel on iop3xx * support xor operations on buffers larger than the hardware maximum * split the do_* routines into separate prep, src/dest set, submit stages * added async_tx support (dependent operations initiation at cleanup time) * simplified group handling * added interrupt support (callbacks via tasklets) * brought the pending depth inline with ioat (i.e. 4 descriptors) * drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech * don't use inline in C files, Adrian Bunk * remove static tasklet declarations * make iop_adma_alloc_slots easier to read and remove chances for a corrupted descriptor chain * fix locking bug in iop_adma_alloc_chan_resources, Benjamin Herrenschmidt * convert capabilities over to dma_cap_mask_t * fixup sparse warnings * add descriptor flush before iop_chan_enable * checkpatch.pl fixes * gpl v2 only correction * move set_src, set_dest, submit to async_tx methods * move group_list and phys to async_tx Cc: Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
