dmaengine: Add safe API to combine configuration and preparation

2026-06-30T11:12:30+00:00

Introduce dmaengine_prep_config_single_safe() and dmaengine_prep_config_sg_safe() to provide a reentrant-safe way to combine slave configuration and transfer preparation. Drivers may implement the new device_prep_config_sg() callback to perform both steps atomically. If the callback is not provided, the helpers fall back to calling dmaengine_slave_config() followed by dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() under per-channel spinlock protection.

dmaengine: Add API to combine configuration and preparation (sg and single)

2026-06-30T11:12:30+00:00

Previously, configuration and preparation required two separate calls. This works well when configuration is done only once during initialization. However, in cases where the burst length or source/destination address must be adjusted for each transfer, calling two functions is verbose and requires additional locking to ensure both steps complete atomically. Add a new API dmaengine_prep_config_single() and dmaengine_prep_config_sg() and callback device_prep_config_sg() that combines configuration and preparation into a single operation. If the configuration argument is passed as NULL, fall back to the existing implementation.

dmaengine: Fix dma_async_tx_descriptor->tx_submit documentation

2025-09-02T07:05:12+00:00

Commit 790fb9956eea ("linux/dmaengine.h: fix a few kernel-doc warnings") inserted new documentation for @desc_free in the middle of @tx_submit's description. Put @tx_submit's description back together, matching the indentation style of the rest of the documentation for dma_async_tx_descriptor.

linux/dmaengine.h: fix a few kernel-doc warnings

2024-12-04T12:11:25+00:00

The comment block for "Interleaved Transfer Request" should not begin with "/**" since it is not in kernel-doc format. Fix doc name for enum sum_check_flags. Fix all (4) missing struct member warnings. Use "Warning:" for one "Note:" in enum dma_desc_metadata_mode since scripts/kernel-doc does not allow more than one Note: per function or identifier description. This leaves around 49 kernel-doc warnings like: include/linux/dmaengine.h:43: warning: Enum value 'DMA_OUT_OF_ORDER' not described in enum 'dma_status' and another scripts/kernel-doc problem with it not being able to parse some typedefs.
