Once we've written the new request to HW, we don't know exactly which buffer HW is operating on. Hence, we don't know which buffer ch->req_transfer_count refers to. If req->size changes, might this change cause the new req->size value to be used when the old buffer's final completion interrupt goes off and hence the old buffer's req->bytes_transferred be wrong? Actually looking at the current continuous mode, I'm not convinced that it correctly handles replacing an in-progress buffer with a new buffer; I certainly see where handle_continuous_dma() checks for a second (SW) queued buffer and tells the HW to use that buffer instead, but I don't see where the (SW) queue management is done; where is the old req removed from the head of ch->list and marked complete? I assume the "out of sync" case is only intended to be an error condition and not part of the buffer switch? Perhaps for the current continuous mode, it'd be best to require the client to dequeue any existing request before queuing another, i.e. to fail tegra_dma_enqueue_req() if there's already something in ch->list in continuous mode? > + csr = readl(ch->addr + APB_DMA_CHAN_CSR); > + csr &= ~CSR_WCOUNT_MASK; > + csr |= ch->req_transfer_count << CSR_WCOUNT_SHIFT; > + writel(csr, ch->addr + APB_DMA_CHAN_CSR); > + > req->status = TEGRA_DMA_REQ_INFLIGHT; > return; > } -- nvpublic -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
