      powerpc/512x: fix the hanged dma transfer issue · 2862559e
      Ilya Yanok authored
      Current code clears interrupt active status _after_ submitting new
      transfers. This leaves a possibility of clearing the interrupt for this
      new transfer (if it is triggered fast enough) and thus lose this
      interrupt. We want to clear interrupt active status _before_ new
      transfers is submitted and for current channel only.

      powerpc/512x: scatter/gather dma fix · 6504cf34
      Ilya Yanok authored
      While testing mpc512x-dma driver with dmatest module I've found that
      I can hang the mpc512x-dma issuing request from multiple threads to
      the single channel.
      
          insmod dmatest.ko max_channels=1 threads_per_chan=16
      
      After investigating this case I've managed to find that this happens
      if and only if we have more than one queued requests.
      In this case the driver tries to make use of hardware scatter/gather
      functionality. I've found two problems with scatter/gather:
      
       1. When TCD is copied form RAM to the TCD register space with memcpy_io()
      e_sg bit eventually gets cleared. This results in only first TCD being
      executed. I've added setting of e_sg bit explicitly in the TCD registers.
      BTW, what is the correct way to do this? (How can I use setbits with bitfield
      structure?) After that hardware loads consecutive TCDs and we hit the
      second issue.
      
       2. Existing code clears int_maj bit in the last TCD so we never get
      an interrupt on transfer completion.
      
      With these fixes my tests with many threads of single channel succeed but
      tests that use many channels simultaneously still don't work reliable.
