async_tx: add the async_tx api
The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
dependencies. It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
the details of different hardware offload engine implementations. Code
that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources.
I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown
async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
provide an api of the following general format:
struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param)
{
struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>);
struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL;
int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0;
struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ?
device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL;
if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */
...
tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index);
...
tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index);
...
async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
} else { /* run <operation> synchronously */
...
<operation>
...
async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
}
return tx;
}
async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool. The
channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers. The
async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays. In the
uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
evenly over channels of similar capabilities. For example if there are two
copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
handle xor. In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1. When a
dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
operation on the same channel. A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
transition between a copy and a xor resource.
Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
converted to the async_tx api. A driver for the offload engines on the
Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
commit. With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
improvement). For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
percentage points. On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
of the original implementation. According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
--block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
* iop342 had 1GB of memory available
Details:
* if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
* when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
tasklet. if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
polling wait will be performed
* the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
channels
* In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
interrupts. The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
* Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
xor routine. To the software routine the destination address is an implied
source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination. This patch
modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
to mirror the hardware.
Changelog:
* fixed a leftover debug print
* don't allow callbacks in async_interrupt_cond
* fixed xor_block changes
* fixed usage of ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DEST
* drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech
* printk warning fixups from Andrew Morton
* don't use inline in C files, Adrian Bunk
* select the API when MD is enabled
* BUG_ON xor source counts <= 1
* implicitly handle hardware concerns like channel switching and
interrupts, Neil Brown
* remove the per operation type list, and distribute operation capabilities
evenly amongst the available channels
* simplify async_tx_find_channel to optimize the fast path
* introduce the channel_table_initialized flag to prevent early calls to
the api
* reorganize the code to mimic crypto
* include mm.h as not all archs include it in dma-mapping.h
* make the Kconfig options non-user visible, Adrian Bunk
* move async_tx under crypto since it is meant as 'core' functionality, and
the two may share algorithms in the future
* move large inline functions into c files
* checkpatch.pl fixes
* gpl v2 only correction

dmaengine: driver for the iop32x, iop33x, and iop13xx raid engines
The Intel(R) IOP series of i/o processors integrate an Xscale core with
raid acceleration engines. The capabilities per platform are:
iop219:
(2) copy engines
iop321:
(2) copy engines
(1) xor and block fill engine
iop33x:
(2) copy and crc32c engines
(1) xor, xor zero sum, pq, pq zero sum, and block fill engine
iop34x (iop13xx):
(2) copy, crc32c, xor, xor zero sum, and block fill engines
(1) copy, crc32c, xor, xor zero sum, pq, pq zero sum, and block fill engine
The driver supports the features of the async_tx api:
* asynchronous notification of operation completion
* implicit (interupt triggered) handling of inter-channel transaction
dependencies
The driver adapts to the platform it is running by two methods.
1/ #include <asm/arch/adma.h> which defines the hardware specific
iop_chan_* and iop_desc_* routines as a series of static inline
functions
2/ The private platform data attached to the platform_device defines the
capabilities of the channels
20070626: Callbacks are run in a tasklet. Given the recent discussion on
LKML about killing tasklets in favor of workqueues I did a quick conversion
of the driver. Raid5 resync performance dropped from 50MB/s to 30MB/s, so
the tasklet implementation remains until a generic softirq interface is
available.
Changelog:
* fixed a slot allocation bug in do_iop13xx_adma_xor that caused too few
slots to be requested eventually leading to data corruption
* enabled the slot allocation routine to attempt to free slots before
returning -ENOMEM
* switched the cleanup routine to solely use the software chain and the
status register to determine if a descriptor is complete. This is
necessary to support other IOP engines that do not have status writeback
capability
* make the driver iop generic
* modified the allocation routines to understand allocating a group of
slots for a single operation
* added a null xor initialization operation for the xor only channel on
iop3xx
* support xor operations on buffers larger than the hardware maximum
* split the do_* routines into separate prep, src/dest set, submit stages
* added async_tx support (dependent operations initiation at cleanup time)
* simplified group handling
* added interrupt support (callbacks via tasklets)
* brought the pending depth inline with ioat (i.e. 4 descriptors)
* drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech
* don't use inline in C files, Adrian Bunk
* remove static tasklet declarations
* make iop_adma_alloc_slots easier to read and remove chances for a
corrupted descriptor chain
* fix locking bug in iop_adma_alloc_chan_resources, Benjamin Herrenschmidt
* convert capabilities over to dma_cap_mask_t
* fixup sparse warnings
* add descriptor flush before iop_chan_enable
* checkpatch.pl fixes
* gpl v2 only correction
* move set_src, set_dest, submit to async_tx methods
* move group_list and phys to async_tx
