Isn't that like telling the driver that its segments can't be bigger than this... Unless I'm missing something.. Yes. This is a limitation of the current slave_caps API. The maximum needs to be the maximum for all possible configurations. A specific configuration may allow a larger maximum. So we maybe have to extend the API to be able to query the limits for a certain configuration. Not sure what the best way would be to do that, either adding a config parameter to get_slave_caps or to break it into two functions like you proposed one for the static capabilities and one for the sg limits. > >> >>> >>> Even if it did, the "segment size" itself is unused in the MMC driver >>> that this is supposed to fix, unlike the "number of segments" which I'm >>> populating above. >> >> E.g. for ALSA we'll need to know the max segment size, so I think it doesn't >> hurt add this in this patch as well. > > For alsa it would dma only the minimum max size even if the dma controller could do more? > Yes, but I think 64k is still plenty enough for the max period size.

Sorry I was travelling so not realy on top of email for last few days... Now I am not sure we can send this to -rc. If it were just this one, we could have pushed but it also depends on a new API which is sitting in my -next. I am not super comfortable to send that to Linus for the -rcs. Sure, he would scream at me! Also another point worth considering is the approach Russell suggested, I havent gotten a chance to dig deeper but if I understood it correctly then programming the device_dma_parameters should be the right thing to do.

I am OK with either approach as long as a decision can be made quickly by maintainers. Right now lot of back and forth has happened and 3 different versions of the same thing have been posted since January. Since this is such a trivial change, it doesn't make sense to spend so much time on it IMO.... The sad part is though this change is trivial, other drivers such as MMC are broken and cannot be enabled due to this. We cannot afford to leave them broken. If Vinod is not available, can Dan please respond on how to proceed on this? We really need this trivial change to go into this -rc cycle and not delay it by another kernel release.

If the MMC driver does not work without this I guess it never worked, so strictly speaking there is no regression and it is just a new feature. - Lars -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Again I need to look > deeper and esp wrt edma OK. I have some patches sitting in my tree too that I'm working on. With that I don't need to know about maximum number of allowed segments and can send along any number of segment. I will rework them and post them. fwiw, I will also implement caps API incase like Lars did populating the other fields though these will not be unused. For segment size, at this time I don't know any driver that uses it other than davinci-pcm. For this reason the calculations can be done as Lars suggested (for minimum of maximum). Do you know in advance if you're going to amend to drop segment size if we go with what Russell suggested, or are you going to leave the seg-size in the caps API anyway.

Sure. Only thing bothered me is it is a few lines and is just API semantics, nothing functional really. The MMC dt patches were posted but not applied. I said regression because the dt was agreed for -rc cycle but only thing missing is this trivial api stuff so possibly counting that as a regression fixes MMC altogether. 6 months for trivial change blocking an otherwise fully working driver is too much. I am speaking collectively for all of us, not me or anyone in particular. Anyway looks like MMC is not going anywhere till then. > >> >> If Vinod is not available, can Dan please respond on how to proceed on >> this?

If the MMC driver does not work without this I guess it never worked, so strictly speaking there is no regression and it is just a new feature.

I am just back and havent really done my work on this. Let me check and as I said if my understanding is right I would be inclined to remove these fields... ~Vinod

Let me check and as I > said if my understanding is right I would be inclined to remove these fields... Okay so the max sg_len should be done by setting the device_dma_parameters. See the example in MXS DMA and MMC drivers Now for second parameter why do you need that to be passed, I thought in edma the clients needs this value somehow to program the channel. It would be good that if we can delink from this and let edma derive. Also there should be no such thing as max_sg, the driver should be able to perform any size of sg_list. Internally it can be breaking the dma into multiple trasnactions. ~Vinod

On second thought, I am thinking do we really need to set this particular parameter if we can rearchitect the driver a bit. EDMA theoretically can transmit very large segment sizes. There are 3 internal counters (ACNT, BCNT, CCNT) that are 16-bit, total size is quite large (product of counters). EDMA driver however currently assumes that ACNT is device width and BCNT is max burst in units of device width. These parameters are again client configured so these have to be passed to the EDMA driver by configuration or passed through API to calculate maximum segment size. This is required because client may be unaware that CCNT is only 16 bit, so following calculation is being done in the SG segment size patch: <snip> +*edma_get_slave_sg_limits(struct dma_chan *chan, + enum dma_slave_buswidth addr_width, + u32 maxburst) +{ [..] + echan->sg_limits.max_seg_len = + (SZ_64K - 1) * addr_width * maxburst; </snip> The other down side of assigning ACNT device width and BCNT as burst size it seems to be wasteful of the range allowed by 16-bit width. I am thinking if we can break free from these assumptions, then we can transmit segments of literally any length and not have to set any segment size limits at all. I'll try to work on some patches to see if we can overcome segment size limits. > Also there should be no such thing as max_sg, the driver should be able to > perform any size of sg_list.

Sure, I just submitted a patch series that does exactly that: http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=137510483230005&w=2 Thanks, -Joel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Implement device_slave_caps(). EDMA has a limited number of slots. Slave drivers such as omap_hsmmc will query the driver to make sure they don't pass in more than these many scatter segments.

This patch is blocking 3 other patches which fix various MMC things. Thanks! Notes: (1) this approach is temporary and only for -rc cycle to fix MMC on AM335x.
