Hi Andy, I wrote the patch a few years ago, but didn't get the time to upstream it. I am not aware of a HW integration bug on the RZ/N1 device but can't rule it out. I am struggling to see what kind of HW issue this could be as, iirc, word accesses work fine when the size of the transfer is a multiple of the MEM width. I found the issue when testing DMA with the UART transferring different amounts of data. > > + if (sconfig->dst_addr_width && sconfig->dst_addr_width < > data_width) > > + data_width = sconfig->dst_addr_width; > > But here no check that you do it for explicitly peripheral to memory, so > this > will affect memory to peripheral transfers as well. No, this should be ok as this change is within: case DMA_DEV_TO_MEM: BR Phil > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: 20 February 2022 10:50 > To: Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Viresh Kumar <vireshk@xxxxxxxxxx>; Vinod Koul <vkoul@xxxxxxxxxx>; > Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxx>; Magnus Damm > <magnus.damm@xxxxxxxxx>; Michael Turquette <mturquette@xxxxxxxxxxxx>; > Stephen Boyd <sboyd@xxxxxxxxxx>; Rob Herring <robh+dt@xxxxxxxxxx>; > devicetree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; dmaengine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-renesas- > soc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-clk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Thomas Petazzoni > <thomas.petazzoni@xxxxxxxxxxx>; Milan Stevanovic > <milan.stevanovic@xxxxxx>; Jimmy Lalande <jimmy.lalande@xxxxxx>; Laetitia > MARIOTTINI <laetitia.mariottini@xxxxxx>; Phil Edworthy > <phil.edworthy@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: [PATCH 5/8] dma: dw: Avoid partial transfers > > On Fri, Feb 18, 2022 at 07:12:23PM +0100, Miquel Raynal wrote: > > From: Phil Edworthy <phil.edworthy@xxxxxxxxxxx> > > > > Pausing a partial transfer only causes data to be written to mem that is > > a multiple of the memory width setting. > > > > However, when a DMA client driver finishes DMA early, e.g. due to UART > > char timeout interrupt, all data read from the DEV must be written to > MEM. > > > > Therefore, allow the slave to limit the memory width to ensure all data > > read from the DEV is written to MEM when DMA is paused. > > Is this a fix? > What happens to the data if you don't do this? > As far as I understood the Synopsys DesignWare specification the DMA > controller > is capable of flushing FIFO in that case on byte-by-byte basis.
