Hmm, that function returns 1 if ARCH_HAS_DMA_MINALIGN isn't defined. The idea of using ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN was to ensure that the priv data has the same minimal alignment as kmalloc(). Took my inspriration from https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240209-counter-align-fix-v2-1-5777ea0a2722@analog.com . The implementation of dma_get_cache_alignment suggests that not all archs provide ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN? Also there is ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN. Hmm, don't know yet what to do here. > > +/* This is the counterpart to pwmchip_alloc */ > > pwmchip_alloc() Ack. > > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pwmchip_put); > > > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pwmchip_alloc); > > > +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(devm_pwmchip_alloc); > > Are these exported via namespace? If no, can they be from day 1? I added that to my todo list for all pwm functions. Will address that separately. Thanks for your feedback Uwe

Here it goes my 2 cents... AFAIK, ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN gives you the same alignment guarantees than devm_kmalloc() for instance. In some archs it will effectively be the same as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN. Now, I think it only matters if the owners of private data intend to have a DMA safe buffer in their structs. If that is the case, we need to ensure a proper alignment for that structure. In IIO for example, the construct is like this: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/iio/dac/ltc2688.c#L96 The buffers should come last in the struct so they are alone in the line. In IIO, Jonathan has a strict policy for this. Like, even if you just want to transfer 2/4 bytes via spi, we need to make the buffer safe (apparently there are some controllers only doing DMA - even for small transfers). I would say that if unsure, go with ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN. You just might waste some space in some archs. OTOH, if you think DMA is not really a thing for pwm chips, you might go ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN. And since you already have your own PWMCHIP_ALIGN, it should be easy to change the requirements down the road (if needed). That said, I'm not familiar with dma_get_cache_alignment(). - Nuno Sá

This function allocates a struct pwm_chip and driver data. Compared to the status quo the split into pwm_chip and driver data is new, otherwise it doesn't change anything relevant (yet). The intention is that after all drivers are switched to use this allocation function, its possible to add a struct device to struct pwm_chip to properly track the latter's lifetime without touching all drivers again. Proper lifetime tracking is a necessary precondition to introduce character device support for PWMs (that implements atomic setting and doesn't suffer from the sysfs overhead of the /sys/class/pwm userspace support). The new function pwmchip_priv() (obviously?) only works for chips allocated with pwmchip_alloc().
