ASYNC_TX_ENABLE_CHANNEL_SWITCH violates the DMA mapping API and
Russell has warned it's especially problematic on ARM [1].  If you
need channel switching for this offload engine to be useful then you
need to move DMA mapping and channel switching responsibilities to MD
itself.

Reusing a macro argument multiple times is problematic, consider
SBA_ENC(..., arg++, ...), and hiding assignments in a macro make this
hard to read. The compiler should inline it properly if you just make
this a function that returns a value. You could also mark it __pure.

You could use list_first_entry_or_null() here.

You can validate the locking assumptions here with
lockdep_assert_head(sba->reqs_lock).

In some parts of the driver you leave off unneeded braces like the for
loop in sba_prep_dma_pq(), and in some case you include them. I'd say
remove them if they're not necessary, but either way make it
consistent across the driver.

Thanks, yes, I do think this is cleaner here than in async_tx itself.

You've now required all callback paths to be hardirq safe whereas
previously the callbacks only assumed softirq exclusion. Have you run
this with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled?
