Add lock and unlock flag support on command descriptor.
Once lock set in requester pipe, then the bam controller
will lock all others pipe and process the request only
from requester pipe. Unlocking only can be performed from
the same pipe.


Is the lock per channel, or for the whole BAM instance?
  This lock is for whole BAM instance. Once LOCK bit will
  set on initiator CMD descriptor BAM will lock all pipes
  which belongs to other EE's and Pipes not in the current
  group.

If DMA_PREP_LOCK flag passed in command descriptor then requester
of this transaction wanted to lock the BAM controller for this
transaction so BAM driver should set LOCK bit for the HW descriptor.

You use the expression "this transaction" here, but if I understand the
calling code the lock is going to be held over multiple DMA operations
and even across asynchronous operations in the crypto driver.
  Yes its correct.

DMA_PREP_LOCK indicates that this is the beginning of a transaction,
consisting of multiple operations that needs to happen while other EEs
are being locked out, and DMA_PREP_UNLOCK marks the end of the
transaction.
  Yes its correct.

That said, I'm not entirely fond of the fact that these flags are not
just used on first and last operation in one sequence, but spread out.
  Yes its correct.

Locking is hard, when you spread the responsibility of locking and
unlocking across different entities it's made harder...
  The locking/unlocking always synchronous because unlocking happening
  in the dma callback.


If DMA_PREP_UNLOCK flag passed in command descriptor then requester
of this transaction wanted to unlock the BAM controller.so BAM driver
should set UNLOCK bit for the HW descriptor.

Change in [v2]

* Added LOCK and UNLOCK flag in bam driver

Change in [v1]

* This patch was not included in [v1]

v1 can be found here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231214114239.2635325-7-quic_mdalam@xxxxxxxxxxx/

And it was also posted once before that:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/1608215842-15381-1-git-send-email-mdalam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

In particular during the latter (i.e. first post) we had a rather long
discussion about this feature, so that's certainly worth linking to.

Looks like this series provides some answers to the questions we had
back then.
  Will add the link in next post

Regards,
Bjorn
