We cannot unconditionally use dma_map_single() to map data for use with SPI since transfers may exceed a page and virtual addresses may not be provided with physically contiguous pages. Further, addresses allocated using vmalloc() need to be mapped differently to other addresses. Currently only the MXS driver handles all this, a few drivers do handle the possibility that buffers may not be physically contiguous which is the main potential problem but many don't even do that. Factoring this out into the core will make it easier for drivers to do a good job so if the driver is using the core DMA code then generate a scatterlist instead of mapping to a single address so do that. This code is mainly based on a combination of the existing code in the MXS and PXA2xx drivers. In future we should be able to extend it to allow the core to concatenate adjacent transfers if they are compatible, improving performance. Currently for simplicity clients are not allowed to use the scatterlist when they do DMA mapping, in the future the existing single address mappings will be replaced with use of the scatterlist most likely as part of pre-verifying transfers. This change makes it mandatory to use scatterlists when using the core DMA mapping so update the s3c64xx driver to do this when used with dmaengine. Doing so makes the code more ugly but it is expected that the old s3c-dma code can be removed very soon. Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@linaro.org> |
