Hi Greg!

I sent v2 of the patchset, but it does not need to be part of the
staging tree. I CC-ed de...@driverdev.osuosl.org for reference.

Thanks!

Why wrap the *existing* kernel APIs with you own!

A quick glance at the code submitted tells me that it mimcks kernel
APIs. But why you folks didnt use the kernel dmaengine APIs in not clear
to me. So please convert it (should be relatively easy as you seem to
have wrappers for dmaengine callbacks)

Heh! We do have a dmatest driver which does this and much more! why not
use that one instead of adding you own!

Why not use dmaengine in first place?

Why is this being submitted for drivers/staging/ and not the "real" part
of the kernel tree?

All staging code must have a TODO file listing what needs to be done in
order to get it out of staging, and be self-contained (i.e. no files
include/linux/)

Please fix that up when resending this series.

[PATCH RFC 0/2] staging: Support Avalon-MM DMA Interface for PCIe

2019-09-19 Thread Alexander Gordeev
The Avalon-MM DMA Interface for PCIe is a design found in hard IPs for
Intel Arria, Cyclone or Stratix FPGAs. It transfers data between on-chip
memory and system memory. This RFC is an attempt to provide a generic API:

typedef void (*avalon_dma_xfer_callback)(void *dma_async_param);
 
int avalon_dma_submit_xfer(
struct avalon_dma *avalon_dma,
enum dma_data_direction direction,
dma_addr_t dev_addr, dma_addr_t host_addr,
unsigned int size,
avalon_dma_xfer_callback callback,
void *callback_param);
 
int avalon_dma_submit_xfer_sg(struct avalon_dma *avalon_dma,
enum dma_data_direction direction,
dma_addr_t dev_addr,
struct sg_table *sg_table,
avalon_dma_xfer_callback callback,
void *callback_param);
 
int avalon_dma_issue_pending(struct avalon_dma *avalon_dma);

Patch 1 introduces "avalon-dma" driver that provides the above-mentioned
generic interface.

Patch 2 adds "avalon-drv" driver using "avalon-dma" to transfer user-
provided data. This driver was used to debug and stress "avalon-dma"
and could be used as a code base for other implementations. Strictly
speaking, it does not need to be part of the kernel tree.
A companion tool using "avalon-drv" to DMA files (not part of this
patchset) is located at g...@github.com:a-gordeev/avalon-drv-tool.git

The suggested interface is developed with the standard "dmaengine"
in mind and could be reworked to suit it. I would appreciate, however
gathering some feedback on the implemenation first - as the hardware-
specific code would persist. It is also a call for testing - I only
have access to a single Arria 10 device to try on.

This series is against v5.3 and could be found at
