[PATCH RFC v2 3/8] spi: add support for hardware triggered offload

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This extends the SPI framework to support hardware triggered offloading.
This allows an arbitrary hardware trigger to be used to start a SPI
transfer that was previously set up with spi_offload_prepare().

Since the hardware trigger can happen at any time, this means the SPI
bus must be reserved for exclusive use as long as the hardware trigger
is enabled. Since a hardware trigger could be enabled indefinitely,
we can't use the existing spi_bus_lock() and spi_bus_unlock() functions,
otherwise this could cause deadlocks. So we introduce a new flag so that
any attempt to lock or use the bus will fail with -EBUSY as long as the
hardware trigger is enabled.

v2 changes:

This is split out from "spi: add core support for controllers with
offload capabilities".

Mark suggested that the standard SPI APIs should be aware that the
hardware trigger is enabled. So I've added some locking for this. Nuno
suggested that this might be overly strict though, and that we should
let each individual controller driver decide what to do. For our use
case though, I think we generally are going to have a single peripheral
on the SPI bus, so this seems like a reasonable starting place anyway.

TODO: Currently, spi_bus_lock() always returns 0, so none of the callers
check the return value. All callers will need to be updated first before
this can be merged.
