Hi,

Overall it looks very nice, thanks.

ffz instead?

I think it'd look way more messy with ffz, as it only works on unsigned longs and it's undefined on the all-1s case.

We could have something like this, but I don't see much point in what's basically expanding the macro

	spin_lock_irqsave(&priv->lock, flags);
	i = find_next_zero_bit(&priv->pchans_used, max, i);
	if (i < max) {
		pchan = &pchans[i];
		pchan->vchan = vchan;
		set_bit(i, priv->pchans_used);
	}
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&priv->lock, flags);

So this has to be called with a lock taken?

You should mention that somewhere.
Usually, such fonctions are also prefixed by "__"

Ok, I added a comment and the prefix now.

I'm not sure what's the default policy on that. Vinod?

Judging from Russell's comment here, that should be in the interrupt
handler

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2014-August/277737.html

Wouldn't that make the interrupt handler quite big time wise? I was under the impression they should remain as short as possible. LDD3 says "The programmer should be careful to write a routine that executes in a minimum amount of time (...)" on chapter 10

I did try something mid-way a bit ago; I added code to see if we could issue the next DMA operation from the current set, but it was just extra complexity for a noop in performance, as they're sets of one on all cases I tried.

It's worth noting that the very latency sensitive DMA users we will have (ie, audio) are already completely managed in the IRQ handler thanks to the less flexible concept of cyclic transfers.

Cheers,

Emilio
