ALSA: docs: Update documentation about SG- and vmalloc-buffers
The recent changes simplified the required setup for SG- and vmalloc- buffers. Update the documentation accordingly. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20191105080138.1260-5-tiwai@suse.de Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

|
|||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
It's possible to use a buffer allocated via :c:func:`vmalloc()`, for
|
||||
example, for an intermediate buffer. Since the allocated pages are not
|
||||
contiguous, you need to set the ``page`` callback to obtain the physical
|
||||
address at every offset.
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way to achieve it would be to use
|
||||
:c:func:`snd_pcm_lib_alloc_vmalloc_buffer()` for allocating the buffer
|
||||
via :c:func:`vmalloc()`, and set :c:func:`snd_pcm_sgbuf_ops_page()` to
|
||||
the ``page`` callback. At release, you need to call
|
||||
:c:func:`snd_pcm_lib_free_vmalloc_buffer()`.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to implementation the ``page`` manually, it would be like
|
||||
this:
|
||||
example, for an intermediate buffer. In the recent version of kernel,
|
||||
you can simply allocate it via standard
|
||||
:c:func:`snd_pcm_lib_malloc_pages()` and co after setting up the
|
||||
buffer preallocation with ``SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_VMALLOC`` type.
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
#include <linux/vmalloc.h>
|
||||
snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages_for_all(pcm, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_VMALLOC,
|
||||
NULL, 0, 0);
|
||||
|
||||
/* get the physical page pointer on the given offset */
|
||||
static struct page *mychip_page(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream,
|
||||
unsigned long offset)
|
||||
{
|
||||
void *pageptr = substream->runtime->dma_area + offset;
|
||||
return vmalloc_to_page(pageptr);
|
||||
}
|
||||
The NULL is passed to the device pointer argument, which indicates
|
||||
that the default pages (GFP_KERNEL and GFP_HIGHMEM) will be
|
||||
allocated.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, note that zero is passed to both the size and the max size
|
||||
arguments here. Since each vmalloc call should succeed at any time,
|
||||
we don't need to pre-allocate the buffers like other continuous
|
||||
pages.
|
||||
|
||||
If you need the 32bit DMA allocation, pass the device pointer encoded
|
||||
by :c:func:`snd_dma_continuous_data()` with ``GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_DMA32``
|
||||
argument.
