[added to the 4.1 stable tree] dmaengine: at_xdmac: fix residue corruption

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

 



From: Ludovic Desroches <ludovic.desroches@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 4.1 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 53398f488821c2b5b15291e3debec6ad33f75d3d ]

An unexpected value of CUBC can lead to a corrupted residue. A more
complex sequence is needed to detect an inaccurate value for NCA or CUBC.

-	 * When processing the residue, we need to read two registers but we
-	 * can't do it in an atomic way. AT_XDMAC_CNDA is used to find where
-	 * we stand in the descriptor list and AT_XDMAC_CUBC is used
-	 * to know how many data are remaining for the current descriptor.
-	 * Since the dma channel is not paused to not loose data, between the
-	 * AT_XDMAC_CNDA and AT_XDMAC_CUBC read, we may have change of
-	 * descriptor.
-	 * For that reason, after reading AT_XDMAC_CUBC, we check if we are
-	 * still using the same descriptor by reading a second time
-	 * AT_XDMAC_CNDA. If AT_XDMAC_CNDA has changed, it means we have to
-	 * read again AT_XDMAC_CUBC.
+	 * The easiest way to compute the residue should be to pause the DMA
+	 * but doing this can lead to miss some data as some devices don't
+	 * have FIFO.
+	 * We need to read several registers because:
+	 * - DMA is running therefore a descriptor change is possible while
+	 * reading these registers
+	 * - When the block transfer is done, the value of the CUBC register
+	 * is set to its initial value until the fetch of the next descriptor.
+	 * This value will corrupt the residue calculation so we have to skip
+	 * it.
+	 *
+	 * INITD --------                    ------------

+	 *       __________  ___________  _______________
+	 * CUBC       0    \/ MAX desc1 \/  MAX desc2
+	 *       __________/\___________/\_______________
+	 *
+	 * Since descriptors are aligned on 64 bits, we can assume that
+	 * the update of NDA and CUBC is atomic.
 	 * Memory barriers are used to ensure the read order of the registers.
-	 * A max number of retries is set because unlikely it can never ends if
-	 * we are transferring a lot of data with small buffers.
