[PATCH 3/5] dmaengine: Support for querying maximum trasnfer length (of an SG element)

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

 



Certain DMA engines have limitation on the maximum size of a transfer they
can support. This size limitation is per SG element or for period length in
cyclic transfers.
In TI's eDMA and sDMA this limitation is not really a length limit, but it
is the number of bursts that we can support in one transfer.

With this callback the DMA drivers can provide hints to clients on how they
should set up their buffers (sglist, cyclic buffer). Without this the
clients must have open coded workarounds in place for each and every DMA
engine they might be interfacing with to have correct length for the
transfers.
