Buffer transfer size is the number of transfers to be performed in
relation with the width of the _source_ interface.
So in the DMA_FROM_DEVICE case, it should be the register width that

Currently while submitting scatterlists with more than one SG
entry the DMA buffer address from the first SG entry is inserted
into all initialized DMA buffer descriptors. This is due to the
typo in the for_each_sg() loop where the scatterlist pointer is
used for obtaining the DMA buffer address and _not_ the SG list
iterator.
As a result all received data will be written only into the first
DMA buffer while reading. While writing the data from the first
DMA buffer is send to the device multiple times. This caused
the filesystem destruction on the MMC card when using DMA in
mxcmmc driver.

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

Commit 0793448 "DMAENGINE: generic channel status v2" changed the interface for
how dma channel progress is retrieved. It inadvertently exported an internal
helper function ioat_tx_status() instead of ioat_dma_tx_status(). The latter
polls the hardware to get the latest completion state, while the helper just
evaluates the current state without touching hardware. The effect is that we
end up waiting for completion timeouts or descriptor allocation errors before
the completion state is updated.

However, the device_control() portion of the DMA_SLAVE API is still
useful to control device specific parameters, such as externally

A special dma_ctrl_cmd has been added to enable externally controlled

This patch adds support for the Freescale i.MX SDMA engine.
The SDMA engine is a scatter/gather DMA engine which is implemented
as a seperate coprocessor. SDMA needs its own firmware which is
requested using the standard request_firmware mechanism. The firmware
has different entry points for each peripheral type, so drivers
have to pass the peripheral type to the DMA engine which in turn
picks the correct firmware entry point from a table contained in
the firmware image itself.
The original Freescale code also supports support for transfering
data to the internal SRAM which needs different entry points to
the firmware. Support for this is currently not implemented. Also,
support for the ASRC (asymmetric sample rate converter) is skipped.
I took a very simple approach to implement dmaengine support. Only
a single descriptor is statically assigned to a each channel. This
means that transfers can't be queued up but only a single transfer
is in progress. This simplifies implementation a lot and is sufficient
for the usual device/memory transfers.
