Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] dmaengine: Add wrapper for device_tx_status callback

This patch adds a small inline wrapper for the devivce_tx_status callback of a
dma device. This makes the source code of users of this function a bit more
compact and a bit more legible.

E.g.:
-status = chan->device->device_tx_status(chan, cookie, &state)
+status = dmaengine_tx_status(chan, cookie, &state)

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] ASoC: dmaengine-pcm: Rename and deprecate snd_dmaengine_pcm_pointer

Currently the sound dmaengine pcm helper functions implement the pcm_pointer
callback by trying to count the number of elapsed periods. This is done by
advancing the stream position in the dmaengine callback by one period.
Unfortunately there is no guarantee that the callback will be called for each
elapsed period. It may be possible that under high system load it is only called
once for multiple elapsed periods. This patch renames the current implementation
and documents its shortcomings and that it should not be used anymore in new
drivers.

The next patch will introduce a new snd_dmaengine_pcm_pointer which will be
implemented based on querying the current stream position from the dma device.

If you are maintaining a pcm driver which use the dmaengine pcm helper please
check if you platform works with the new snd_dmaengine_pcm_pointer
implementation which is added in the next patch (ux500 seems to be good
candidate). And if it does send a follow-up patch to convert your platform to
the new implementation. If it does not please try to fix or add residue
reporting support to your dmaengine driver.

This patch is new in v2 of this series

Currently the sound dmaengine pcm helper functions implement the pcm_pointer
callback by trying to count the number of elapsed periods. This is done by
advancing the stream position in the dmaengine callback by one period.
Unfortunately there is no guarantee that the callback will be called for each
elapsed period. It may be possible that under high system load it is only called
once for multiple elapsed periods. This patch addresses the issue by
implementing support for querying the current stream position directly from the
dmaengine driver. Since not all dmaengine drivers support reporting the stream
position yet the old period counting implementation is kept for now.

Furthermore the new mechanism allows to report the stream position with a
sub-period granularity, given that the dmaengine driver supports this.

Changes since v1:
* Don't implement fallback support in snd_dmaengine_pcm_pointer, instead it
is now moved to its own function. This was done to make it more explicit
that implementing residue reporting for cyclic is required and that this
won't be optional for new drivers.

Thanks.

There is a compile time dependency between the patches, so this patch should
go through the ASoC tree as well, or we'll have to wait another release
before the ASoC patches can be applied.

Yes and rest of the two patches depend on components in asoc-next so
they don't apply for me as well.
Mark, it would make sense to take all three to your tree. I will retain
this in my next for others to use.

One question i still not very clear, for the case when one buffer size of cyclic dma
transfer completes, the dma residue may be buf_size( or 0 as Russell said), then
pos here is 0. So is it correct that call bytes_to_frames(substream->runtime, 0)
for this case?

Yes, a residue of 0 and of buf_size are equivalent. And the fact that
residue may be 0 for cyclic DMA is just leakage through our abstraction
layers when cyclic DMA is emulated using "normal" DMA. For real cyclic DMA
residue should never be zero.

The value which is returned by the pcm_pointer callback needs to less than
buffer_size, otherwise the ALSA core code will report an error. So if
residue is 0 and we'd not do any special handling for this case we'd return
buffer_size here.

Applied all, thanks.
