Hello All,
I have some queries related to the following patch :-

dmaengine: virt-dma: add support for cyclic DMA periodic callbacks
Add support for cyclic DMA's periodic callbacks. Drivers are expected
to call vchan_cyclic_callback() when a period has completed, which will
schedule the tasklet to make the callback into the driver.
As callbacks are made from tasklet context, it is important to realise
that we don't guarantee a callback for each completed period, but for
N completed periods where N may be greater than one.

After the patch is submitted there is no guarantee for intermediate callbacks for the cyclic DMA as mentioned in the
patch. Please let me know if my understanding is correct. I have a use-case in my audio driver such that all intermediate
callbacks are necessary to handle as they get involve in updating other Data structures and triggering other DMAs.
Please help me to understand this.
Regards,
Priyaranjan
