Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/3] Add support for using external dma in SDHCI

Currently the generic SDHCI code in the Linux kernel supports the SD
standard DMA integrated into the host controller but does not have any
support for external DMA controllers implemented using dmaengine meaning
that custom code is needed for any systems that use a generic DMA
controller with SDHCI which in practice means any SDHCI controller that
doesn't have an integrated DMA controller so we should have this as a
generic feature.

There are already a number of controller specific drivers that have dmaengine
code, and some could use sdhci.c actually, but needed to implement mmc_ops->request()
in their specific driver for sending command with external dma using dmaengine
framework, with this patchset, them will take advantage of the generic support.
TI's omap controller is the case as an example.

Any comments are very appreciated.

Thanks,
Chunyan

Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/3] mmc: sdhci: add support for using external DMA devices

Some standard SD host controller can support both external dma
controllers as well as ADMA in which the controller acts as
DMA master.

Currently the generic SDHCI code supports ADMA/SDMA integrated into
the host controller but does not have any support for external DMA
controllers implemented using dmaengine meaning that custom code is
needed for any systems that use a generic DMA controller with SDHCI.

A number of devices using sdhci-omap supports ADMA. So switching to external
DMA shouldn't be unconditional.

IMHO sdhci.c should see if the device supports ADMA or SDMA. If not it should
try switching to external DMA and if external DMA too is not supported, it
should use PIO.

Thanks

The error handling looks wrong here: if you get EPROBE_DEFER,
you want to skip the warning message. If you get any other error code,
you want the warning message and also the dma_release_channel()
which should be unconditional here.

What's the reasoning for preferring ADMA/SDMA over external DMA if
both are supported?

I'd expect that if the external DMA for some reason is worse than
ADMA, we just wouldn't list it in the DT at all, but if it's listed and
ADMA also works, then the driver should try to use it before falling
back to ADMA.

Thanks Arnd and Kishon, let's see what Andrian and Ulf would suggest,
and then I will address in next version of patchset.

I have no object to supporting external DMA, but there are a few comments below.

I would prefer "external_dma" to extdma e.g.
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_EXTERNAL_DMA
sdhci_external_dma_init
sdhci_external_dma_channel
sdhci_external_dma_setup
etc

I guess the channels need to be released in sdhci_cleanup_host() and
sdhci_remove_host()

Doesn't the DMA need to be cleaned up somewhere if there are transfer errors?

Is this struct really needed? Otherwise kernel style is not to nest
structures. i.e. just put rx/tx_chan in struct sdhci_host.

I was under the impression that the internal DMA (for old versions) is
rather poor.

However, in the end this is a software policy decision of what to use.
I have no strong opinion, so feel free to pick what you think makes
best sense.

Maybe Adrian also have some thoughts?
