On i.mx8mq, there are two sdma instances, and the common dma framework will get a channel dynamically from any available sdma instance whether it's the first sdma device or the second sdma device. Some IPs like SAI only work with sdma2 not sdma1. To make sure the sdma channel is from the correct sdma device, use the node pointer to match.

This change wraps the data for the source & destination buffers into a `struct dmatest_data`. The rename patterns are: * src_cnt -> src->cnt * dst_cnt -> dst->cnt * src_off -> src->off * dst_off -> dst->off * thread->srcs -> src->aligned * thread->usrcs -> src->raw * thread->dsts -> dst->aligned * thread->udsts -> dst->raw The intent is to make a function that moves duplicate parts of the code into common alloc & free functions, which will unclutter the `dmatest_func()` function.

Using dma_dev->dev for mappings before it's assigned with the correct device is unlikely to work as expected, and with future dma-direct changes, passing a NULL device may end up crashing entirely. I don't know enough about this hardware or the mv_xor_prep_dma_interrupt() operation to implement the appropriate error-handling logic that would have revealed those dma_map_single() calls failing on arm64 for as long as the driver has been enabled there, but moving the assignment earlier will at least make the current code operate as intended.

The BCM2835 DMA driver deletes a channel from a list upon termination without having added it to a list first. Moreover that operation is protected by a spinlock which isn't taken anywhere else.

Per section 4.2.1.1 of the BCM2835 ARM Peripherals spec, control blocks "must start at a 256 bit aligned address": https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2012/02/BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf This rule is currently satisfied only by accident because struct bcm2835_dma_cb has a size of 256 bit and the DMA pool API happens to allocate blocks consecutively. It seems safer to be explicit and tell the DMA pool allocator about the required alignment.

There are multiple issues with bcm2835_dma_abort() (which is called on termination of a transaction): * The algorithm to abort the transaction first pauses the channel by clearing the ACTIVE flag in the CS register, then waits for the PAUSED flag to clear. Page 49 of the spec documents the latter as follows: "Indicates if the DMA is currently paused and not transferring data. This will occur if the active bit has been cleared [...]" https://www.raspberrypi.org/app/uploads/2012/02/BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf So the function is entering an infinite loop because it is waiting for PAUSED to clear which is always set due to the function having cleared the ACTIVE flag. The only thing that's saving it from itself is the upper bound of 10000 loop iterations. The code comment says that the intention is to "wait for any current AXI transfer to complete", so the author probably wanted to check the WAITING_FOR_OUTSTANDING_WRITES flag instead. Amend the function accordingly. * The CS register is only read at the beginning of the function. It needs to be read again after pausing the channel and before checking for outstanding writes, otherwise writes which were issued between the register read at the beginning of the function and pausing the channel may not be waited for. * The function seeks to abort the transfer by writing 0 to the NEXTCONBK register and setting the ABORT and ACTIVE flags. Thereby, the 0 in NEXTCONBK is sought to be loaded into the CONBLK_AD register. However experimentation has shown this approach to not work: The CONBLK_AD register remains the same as before and the CS register contains 0x00000030 (PAUSED | DREQ_STOPS_DMA). In other words, the control block is not aborted but merely paused and it will be resumed once the next DMA transaction is started. That is absolutely not the desired behavior. A simpler approach is to set the channel's RESET flag instead. This reliably zeroes the NEXTCONBK as well as the CS register. It requires less code and only a single MMIO write. This is also what popular user space DMA drivers do, e.g.: https://github.com/metachris/RPIO/blob/master/source/c_pwm/pwm.c Note that the spec is contradictory whether the NEXTCONBK register is writeable at all. On the one hand, page 41 claims: "The value loaded into the NEXTCONBK register can be overwritten so that the linked list of Control Block data structures can be dynamically altered. However it is only safe to do this when the DMA is paused." On the other hand, page 40 specifies: "Only three registers in each channel's register set are directly writeable (CS, CONBLK_AD and DEBUG). The other registers (TI, SOURCE_AD, DEST_AD, TXFR_LEN, STRIDE & NEXTCONBK), are automatically loaded from a Control Block data structure held in external memory."

If IRQ handlers are threaded (either because CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_BASE is enabled or "threadirqs" was passed on the command line) and if system load is sufficiently high that wakeup latency of IRQ threads degrades, SPI DMA transactions on the BCM2835 occasionally break like this: ks8851 spi0.0: SPI transfer timed out bcm2835-dma 3f007000.dma: DMA transfer could not be terminated ks8851 spi0.0 eth2: ks8851_rdfifo: spi_sync() failed The root cause is an assumption made by the DMA driver which is documented in a code comment in bcm2835_dma_terminate_all(): /* * Stop DMA activity: we assume the callback will not be called * after bcm_dma_abort() returns (even if it does, it will see * c->desc is NULL and exit.) */ That assumption falls apart if the IRQ handler bcm2835_dma_callback() is threaded: A client may terminate a descriptor and issue a new one before the IRQ handler had a chance to run. In fact the IRQ handler may miss an *arbitrary* number of descriptors. The result is the following race condition: 1. A descriptor finishes, its interrupt is deferred to the IRQ thread. 2. A client calls dma_terminate_async() which sets channel->desc = NULL. 3. The client issues a new descriptor. Because channel->desc is NULL, bcm2835_dma_issue_pending() immediately starts the descriptor. 4. Finally the IRQ thread runs and writes BCM2835_DMA_INT to the CS register to acknowledge the interrupt. This clears the ACTIVE flag, so the newly issued descriptor is paused in the middle of the transaction. Because channel->desc is not NULL, the IRQ thread finalizes the descriptor and tries to start the next one. I see two possible solutions: The first is to call synchronize_irq() in bcm2835_dma_issue_pending() to wait until the IRQ thread has finished before issuing a new descriptor. The downside of this approach is unnecessary latency if clients desire rapidly terminating and re-issuing descriptors and don't have any use for an IRQ callback. (The SPI TX DMA channel is a case in point.) A better alternative is to make the IRQ thread recognize that it has missed descriptors and avoid finalizing the newly issued descriptor. So first of all, set the ACTIVE flag when acknowledging the interrupt. This keeps a newly issued descriptor running. If the descriptor was finished, the channel remains idle despite the ACTIVE flag being set. However the ACTIVE flag can then no longer be used to check whether the channel is idle, so instead check whether the register containing the current control block address is zero and finalize the current descriptor only if so. That way, there is no impact on latency and throughput if the client doesn't care for the interrupt: Only minimal additional overhead is introduced for non-cyclic descriptors as one further MMIO read is necessary per interrupt to check for idleness of the channel. Cyclic descriptors are sped up slightly by removing one MMIO write per interrupt.

When dma_cookie_complete() is called in hidma_process_completed(), dma_cookie_status() will return DMA_COMPLETE in hidma_tx_status(). Then, hidma_txn_is_success() will be called to use channel cookie mchan->last_success to do additional DMA status check. Current code assigns mchan->last_success after dma_cookie_complete(). This causes a race condition of dma_cookie_status() returns DMA_COMPLETE before mchan->last_success is assigned correctly.
